[media] v4l2-mc.h: Split audio from baseband output
Analog TV tuners have a separate output pad for the audio IF or audio sampled data. This pad is connected to a different chipset. Add an extra pad for it and improve the documentation. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>

- * IF that will be used by an audio decoder like msp34xx.

+ * of the signal converted to an Intermediate Frequency
+ * (IF) or to baseband (on zero-IF tuners).
+ * @TUNER_PAD_AUD_OUT: Tuner audio output source pad. Tuners used to decode

+ * by the bridge chipset (that's the case of cx2388x

* @TUNER_NUM_PADS: Number of pads of the tuner.
