media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/media
Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API,
created by changeset 1d596dee3862 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide").
As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use
Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate
place.
Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether
will likely make things easier for developers.

Drivers fill +the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL`` error code when the device +has no audio inputs, or none which combine with the current video +output. + +Audio outputs have no writable properties. Nevertheless, to select the +current audio output applications can initialize the ``index`` field and +``reserved`` array (which in the future may contain writable properties) +of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_audioout` structure and call the +``VIDIOC_S_AUDOUT`` ioctl. Drivers switch to the requested output or +return the ``EINVAL`` error code when the index is out of bounds. This is a +write-only ioctl, it does not return the current audio output attributes +as ``VIDIOC_G_AUDOUT`` does. + +.. note:: + + Connectors on a TV card to loop back the received audio signal + to a sound card are not audio outputs in this sense. + + +.. c:type:: v4l2_audioout + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{4.4cm}|p{4.4cm}|p{8.7cm}| + +.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_audioout + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 2 + + * - __u32 + - ``index`` + - Identifies the audio output, set by the driver or application. + * - __u8 + - ``name``\ [32] + - Name of the audio output, a NUL-terminated ASCII string, for + example: "Line Out".
