At least in terms of USB and USB UAC, formats are defined within an 
audio streaming interface descriptor, which will include multiple (up to 
2) USB endpoints.  Those endpoints will be described w/ both an audio 
streaming endpoint descriptor as well as a standard USB endpoint 
descriptor.  The audio interface/format descriptors are the ones that 
carry the information about what formats are supported by the USB 
device.  So this API finds a possible USB AS streaming descriptor on the 
device that matches the requested one.  Endpoints will be opened 
subsequently when the audio stream is started, and an interface is 
enabled by sending a SET_INTERFACE control packet on the USB bus.
