Use /dev/audioX rather than /dev/soundX in examples.

Avoids accidentally running into confusing behavior.
Add another example of recording the output of an application.

Explain something that confused me.

Slightly adjust wording.

It does seem to work with multiple applications concurrently writing to
the device in a quick test I did.

Explain the format of the raw PCM data users can read from a pad(4).

Since it's headerless this is important so the data can be interpreted
properly. Also, ordinary audio ioctls cannot be used on a pad and the
format can't be changed, so applications that attempt to automatically
determine the format of a device like audiorecord don't work.
