Comment (by mrpingouin):
You can achieve that using the mix() operator. It mixes several sources,
you can interactively turn it on/off. I'm not sure how it behaves when it
has no enabled input: Is it unavailable, or does it stream silence? I'm
also not sure how it behaves wrt to tracks: does it preserve track limits.
I suggest that you try it and tell us what doesn't fit your needs. Then
we'll see if we adapt mix() or do something new.
(Speaking of design, I'm never sure if I like the current monolithic
mix(), or if I would prefer to break it into simpler pieces. The same
holds for all outputs and several other operators. When I'm unsure, I
choose the statu quo.)
If you like hacks you can also build you tap using a switch with a
predicate that checks a mutable variable (interactive.string) and install
server commands for changing that string. That would probably be fully
satisfying, right? If you like that solution, close the ticket and feel
free to define tap() in the utils.liq.
There is definitely more than one way to do it..
