+<para>This system call opens a named audio device (e.g. /dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0)
+ for subsequent use. When an open() call has succeeded, the device will be ready
+ for use. The significance of blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the
+ documentation for functions where there is a difference. It does not affect the
+ semantics of the open() call itself. A device opened in blocking mode can later
+ be put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa) using the F_SETFL command
+ of the fcntl system call. This is a standard system call, documented in the Linux
+ manual page for fcntl. Only one user can open the Audio Device in O_RDWR
+ mode. All other attempts to open the device in this mode will fail, and an error
+ code will be returned. If the Audio Device is opened in O_RDONLY mode, the
+ only ioctl call that can be used is AUDIO_GET_STATUS. All other call will
+ return with an error code.</para>
