    \brief Discovering the available devices and supported codecs.
    \meta {tag} {widgets}

    \e{Audio Recorder} demonstrates how to identify the available devices and
    supported codecs, and the use of QAudioRecorder class.

    \section1 Displaying the Window and Audio Settings

    We display a window for the user to select the appropriate audio input,
    codec, container, sample rate, and channels. It allows setting of either
    quality or bit rate. Finally, the output file can be selected and recording
    can be started.

    The lists are populated using the following methods:
    \list
    \li \l{QMediaDevices::audioInputs()}
    \li \l{QMediaFormat::supportedAudioCodecs}
    \li \l{QMediaFormat::supportedFileFormats}
    \li \l{QAudioDevice::maximumSampleRate()}
    \li \l{QAudioDevice::minimumSampleRate()}
    \endlist
    The quality slider is setup from 0 (zero) to
    \l{QMediaRecorder::VeryHighQuality} with a default value of
    \l{QMediaRecorder::NormalQuality}, while the bit rate box are hard-coded
    into the list.

    \section1 Recording Audio

    To record audio we simply create a QAudioRecorder object,

    \code
    audioRecorder = new QAudioRecorder(this);
    \endcode

    and setup the lists as described above. The text on the record and pause
    buttons are toggled depending on the \l{QMediaRecorder::RecorderState}{state} of
    the \c audioRecorder object. This means that if the state is
    \l{QMediaRecorder::StoppedState} then the button text will be "Record" and
    "Pause". In \l{QMediaRecorder::RecordingState} the record button will have
    the text "Stop", and in \l{QMediaRecorder::PausedState} the pause button
    will have the text "Resume".

    Pressing the buttons will also result in a toggle based on the state. If
    recording is stopped, then pressing the record button will set the encoding
    settings and container on the \c audioRecorder object, and start recording
    using the \l{QMediaRecorder::record()}{record()} method.

    \code
        QMediaFormat format;
        format.setCodec(boxValue(ui->audioCodecBox).toString());
        audioRecorder->setMediaFormat(format);
        audioRecorder->setSampleRate(boxValue(ui->sampleRateBox).toInt());
        audioRecorder->setBitRate(boxValue(ui->bitrateBox).toInt());
        audioRecorder->setQuality(QMediaRecorder::EncodingQuality(ui->qualitySlider->value()));
        audioRecorder->setEncodingMode(ui->constantQualityRadioButton->isChecked() ?
                                 QMediaRecorder::ConstantQualityEncoding :
                                 QMediaRecorder::ConstantBitRateEncoding);

        QString container = boxValue(ui->containerBox).toString();

        audioRecorder->record();
    \endcode

    While recording, the status bar of the application is updated with duration information
    from the \l{QMediaRecorder::durationChanged()}{durationChanged} signal from the
    \c audioRecorder object.

    \code
    ui->statusbar->showMessage(tr("Recorded %1 sec").arg(duration / 1000));
    \endcode
