Description

Before requesting a new feature make sure it hasn't been requested yet.
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/labels/meta%3Afeature-request

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

This has been touched on before but the request was downgraded to low priority, I would like to raise it again as there are many users being required to use 3rd party software to workaround the lack of feature.
Support for 2 or more Audio devices with at least 1 supporting spdif passthru. gain controls of individual channels would be a big plus for both devices but not essential.

Alternative behavior of the wanted feature

To be able to disable inputs independently

Research direction

The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing mpv's existing audio-device handling and the prior requests referenced by the meta:feature-request label; done would require a defined design and verified support for multiple devices, including SPDIF passthrough and independent input disabling.
