If I play my AC3 data on my HDAudio/SPDIF output using the hw:0,1 device, I can use alsamixer/amixer to mute/unmute.
Now if I use the iec958: plugin, I can't control the mute switch any longer:
Muting an AC-3 stream would require encoding a stream of silent PCM samples (no data is not the same as silence); therefore, the iec958 plugin disallows muting.
