The upstream commit was part of a larger reorganization and depended on
lots of earlier changes.  The OXYGEN_PLAY_MUTE* changes are the correct
backport for the old driver; the OXYGEN_PLAY_DACx_SOURCE* changes would
have been meaningless in the old driver.

It was an error to not mention this in the stable commit message.

This reverts exactly those parts that were not backported to -stable,
so it must not (and cannot) be applied to -stable.
