I swear that it reverts to exclusive software-mixing. Maybe it's because PA on
this machine is quite old? (Debian stable has PA 2.0)

I can confirm that muting works on the optical out.

Cool, thanks!
Wouldn't it suffice to make software mixing the default? Users who use the
analog output may then still switch to hardware then (and get lower CPU usage I
suppose)</pre>
