It isn't. I think we have to extend the v4l2 API a bit to handle this.
/me can think of two different ways to archive this:
* Add some "i don't care about audio" flag to the device context (and
a ioctl to set/clear this). If unset, the driver will switch audio
input together with video input, otherwise not.
* Add a audio input to the device context and reqire applications to
set the audio input explicitly the same way they to with the video
input (needs a new ioctl too). Have some deadbeef magic for the audio
input for the "i don't care" case.

Fine, I've updated the text according to his comments (changes not
online yet).
