33.2 Audio Device Information
=============================

 -- : DEVINFO = audiodevinfo ()

 -- : DEVS = audiodevinfo (IO)
 -- : NAME = audiodevinfo (IO, ID)
 -- : ID = audiodevinfo (IO, NAME)
 -- : ID = audiodevinfo (IO, RATE, BITS, CHANS)

 -- : SUPPORTS = audiodevinfo (IO, ID, RATE, BITS, CHANS)

     Return a structure describing the available audio input and output
     devices.

     The DEVINFO structure has two fields "input" and "output".  The
     value of each field is a structure array with fields "Name",
     "DriverVersion" and "ID" describing an audio device.

     If the optional argument IO is 1, return information about input
     devices only.  If it is 0, return information about output devices
     only.  If IO is the only argument supplied, return the number of
     input or output devices available.

     If the optional argument ID is provided, return information about
     the corresponding device.

     If the optional argument NAME is provided, return the id of the
     named device.

     Given a sampling rate, bits per sample, and number of channels for
     an input or output device, return the ID of the first device that
     supports playback or recording using the specified parameters.

     If also given a device ID, return true if the device supports
     playback or recording using those parameters.
