[pulseaudio-discuss] Pulseaudio and S/PDIF

[Jerry Geis]

I see the below for list-sources.

Source index 1 is muted.
Source index 2 presents  - TWO -  microphones
I want to MUTE the S/PDIF one ????
how do I do that ?

The GUI on Ubuntu 20.04 for the Input shows two items
Digital S/PDIF Webcam and  Webcam.

Muting from GUI - works - but how do I do it from the command line ?

Thanks

Jerry
