HI: Mark Brown
   First of all, thank you for your review. 
   I still have a question I'd like to discuss with you

The essence of calling mute is not switch dsp, but switch PA. We think that
PA has only two states. When no audio stream enters, turn off the PA and
turn off the PA's dsp. When the audio stream enters, the PA is turned on,
and the dsp is turned on at the same time
