class Input(AudioPort, metaclass=ABCMeta):
    """
    Input is the medium in which the audio will go into effect to be processed.

    Effects usually have a one (mono) or two inputs (stereo L + stereo R). But this
    isn't a rule: Some have only :class:`.Output`, like audio frequency generators,
    others have more than two.

    For obtains the inputs::

        >>> my_awesome_effect
        <Lv2Effect object as 'Calf Reverb' active at 0x7fd58d874ba8>
        >>> my_awesome_effect.inputs
        (<Lv2Input object as In L at 0x7fd58c583208>, <Lv2Input object as In R at 0x7fd58c587320>)

        >>> effect_input = my_awesome_effect.inputs[0]
        >>> effect_input
        <Lv2Input object as In L at 0x7fd58c583208>

        >>> symbol = effect_input.symbol
        >>> symbol
        'in_l'

        >>> my_awesome_effect.inputs[symbol] == effect_input
        True

    For connections between effects, see :meth:`~pluginsmanager.model.pedalboard.Pedalboard.connect()`
    and :meth:`~pluginsmanager.model.pedalboard.Pedalboard.disconnect()` :class:`.Pedalboard` class methods.
