IIRC setting the preamp control to maximum attenuation will effect a
partial shutdown of the DAC, lowering the noise level a bit below  what
you'd get otherwise get playing "all zeroes". This may be useful for
some auto-sensing amplifiers which require a lower noise level to think
that the source is "off". There was some discussion of this a while ago
and I thought a feature request was entered (related to s/pdif shutoff
request), but I can't find it now...
