    \class QAudioInput
    \brief The QAudioInput class provides an interface for receiving audio data from an audio input device.

    \inmodule QtMultimedia
    \ingroup  multimedia
    \since 4.6

    You can construct an audio input with the system's
    \l{QAudioDeviceInfo::defaultInputDevice()}{default audio input
    device}. It is also possible to create QAudioInput with a
    specific QAudioDeviceInfo. When you create the audio input, you
    should also send in the QAudioFormat to be used for the recording
    (see the QAudioFormat class description for details).

    To record to a file:

    QAudioInput lets you record audio with an audio input device. The
    default constructor of this class will use the systems default
    audio device, but you can also specify a QAudioDeviceInfo for a
    specific device. You also need to pass in the QAudioFormat in
    which you wish to record.

    Starting up the QAudioInput is simply a matter of calling start()
    with a QIODevice opened for writing. For instance, to record to a
    file, you can:

    \code
    {
      QFile outputFile;
      outputFile.setFileName("/tmp/test.raw");
      outputFile.open( QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Truncate );

      QAudioFormat format;
      // set up the format you want, eg.
      format.setFrequency(8000);
      format.setChannels(1);
      format.setSampleSize(8);
      format.setCodec("audio/pcm");
      format.setByteOrder(QAudioFormat::LittleEndian);
      format.setSampleType(QAudioFormat::UnSignedInt);

      QAudioInput *audio = new QAudioInput(format, this);
      QTimer::singleShot(3000, this, SLOT(stopRecording()));
      audio->start(outputFile);
      // Records audio for 3000ms
    }
    \endcode

    This will start recording if the format specified is supported by
    the input device (you can check this with
    QAudioDeviceInfo::isFormatSupported(). In case there are any
    snags, use the error() function to check what went wrong. We stop
    recording in the \c stopRecording() slot.

    \code
    void stopRecording()
    {
      audio->stop();
      outputFile->close();
    }
    \endcode

    At any point in time, QAudioInput will be in one of four states:
    active, suspended, stopped, or idle. These states are specified by
    the QAudio::State enum. You can request a state change directly through
    suspend(), resume(), stop(), reset(), and start(). The current
    state is reported by state(). QAudioOutput will also signal you
    when the state changes (stateChanged()).

    QAudioInput provides several ways of measuring the time that has
    passed since the start() of the recording. The \c processedUSecs()
    function returns the length of the stream in microseconds written,
    i.e., it leaves out the times the audio input was suspended or idle.
    The elapsedUSecs() function returns the time elapsed since start() was called regardless of
    which states the QAudioInput has been in.

    If an error should occur, you can fetch its reason with error().
    The possible error reasons are described by the QAudio::Error
    enum. The QAudioInput will enter the \l{QAudio::}{StoppedState} when
    an error is encountered.  Connect to the stateChanged() signal to
    handle the error:
