Actually, the application needs to know when to ask the capture device to start capturing. Let's say, the cable is already plugged in/or plugged out. So, any events will be missed as the driver state machine starts during boot up and app is not started. App starts later, registers for (V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE back ported to 3.10) and listens, but will not receive any as they are already generated. So, the application is in a blind spot whether to start capture or not. If we get the same interface as video it's good. I mean G_FMT with a union for audio as well. Otherwise, I can go with a proprietary control/ioctl indicating whether audio is valid or not. ioctl seems to be an easy choice, because this subdev is not exposing any controls, so, registration with ctrl framework for a single one seems a bit of overload.
