If the hardware does not physically support mute then this should be emulated in software. In the case of the WM8903 the device does not have a specific capture mute control, though extremely low gains are supported for the Capture Volume control which function as a mute so you could also set minimum Capture Volume.

Not all hardware supports all possible features. Either configure a software volume control, the softvol plugin for ALSA should be able to do this, or adjust your application to handle this in the application layer.

has some information on using softvol.
