yading@10: The libavdevice library provides the same interface as
yading@10: libavformat. Namely, an input device is considered like a demuxer, and
yading@10: an output device like a muxer, and the interface and generic device
yading@10: options are the same provided by libavformat (see the ffmpeg-formats
yading@10: manual).
yading@10: 
yading@10: In addition each input or output device may support so-called private
yading@10: options, which are specific for that component.
yading@10: 
yading@10: Options may be set by specifying -@var{option} @var{value} in the
yading@10: FFmpeg tools, or by setting the value explicitly in the device
yading@10: @code{AVFormatContext} options or using the @file{libavutil/opt.h} API
yading@10: for programmatic use.
