Response to myself: No. Here's the reason found in hda_codec.c: /* * set up the i/o for analog out * when the digital out is available, copy the front out to digital out, too. */ int snd_hda_multi_out_analog_prepare(struct hda_codec *codec, struct hda_multi_out *mout, unsigned int stream_tag, unsigned int format, struct snd_pcm_substream *substream) I'll document this behavior in the wiki once this one is back online. I'm not so sure this copy is a good idea though. It may be more clear and helpfull to provide a switch in alsamixer.
