## Name

**AuMakeElementExportDevice** - initialize an ExportDevice element

## Synopsis

\#include \<audio/audiolib.h\>

**AuMakeElementExportDevice**(*element*, *input*, *device*, *sample\_rate*, *num\_samples*, *num\_actions*, *actions*)\
\
     **AuElement** \**element*; /\* **RETURN** \*/\
\
     unsigned short *input*;\
\
     **AuDeviceID** *device*;\
\
     unsigned short *sample\_rate*;\
\
     **AuUint32** *num\_samples*;\
\
     int *num\_actions*;\
\
     **AuElementAction** \**actions*;

## Arguments

- *element*

  Returns the initialized element.

- *input*

  Specifies the index of the element to supply the audio data to this element.

- *device*

  Specifies the ID of the device to send the audio data to.

- *sample\_rate*

  Specifies the sample\_rate of the audio data.

- *num\_samples*
