+<h2>
+Querying for Available Devices</h2>
+
+<blockquote>There are often several different audio devices available in
+a computer with different capabilities. They can differ in the sample rates
+supported, bit widths, etc. PortAudio provides a simple way to query for
+the available devices, and then pass the selected device to Pa_OpenStream().
+For an example, see the file "pa_tests/pa_devs.c".
+<p>To determine the number of devices:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>numDevices = Pa_CountDevices();</pre>
+</blockquote>
+You can then query each device in turn by calling Pa_GetDeviceInfo() with
+an index.
+<blockquote>
+<pre>for( i=0; i&lt;numDevices; i++ ) {
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pdi = Pa_GetDeviceInfo( i );</pre>
+</blockquote>
+It will return a pointer to a <tt>PaDeviceInfo</tt> structure which is
+defined as:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>typedef struct{
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int structVersion;&nbsp;
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; const char *name;
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int maxInputChannels;
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int maxOutputChannels;
+/* Number of discrete rates, or -1 if range supported. */
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; int numSampleRates;
+/* Array of supported sample rates, or {min,max} if range supported. */
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; const double *sampleRates;
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PaSampleFormat nativeSampleFormat;
+}PaDeviceInfo;</pre>
+</blockquote>
+If the device supports a continuous range of sample rates, then numSampleRates
+will equal -1, and the sampleRates array will have two values, the minimum&nbsp;
+and maximum rate.
+<p>The device information is allocated by Pa_Initialize() and freed by
+Pa_Terminate() so you do not have to free() the structure returned by Pa_GetDeviceInfo().</blockquote>
