Mauro Carvalho Chehab 699f19e3f1 media: dvb uAPI docs: Prefer use "Digital TV instead of "DVB"
The usage of the term "DVB" at the dvb API docs is confusing,
as, right now, it can refer to either the European digital TV
standard or to the subsystem.

So, prefer calling it as "Digital TV" on most places, to avoid
ambiguity.

Digital TV Audio Device
#######################
The Digital TV audio device controls the MPEG2 audio decoder of the Digital
TV hardware. It can be accessed through ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/audio?``. Data
types and and ioctl definitions can be accessed by including
``linux/dvb/audio.h`` in your application.
Please note that some Digital TV cards dont have their own MPEG decoder, which
results in the omission of the audio and video device.
These ioctls were also used by V4L2 to control MPEG decoders implemented
in V4L2. The use of these ioctls for that purpose has been made obsolete
and proper V4L2 ioctls or controls have been created to replace that
functionality.
