The product identified below will switch between four digital inputs =
automatically, based on the presence of an optical signal, or based on =
priority if there is more than one optical signal present. =20

You can use this to switch digital out of CD changers hooked to CDJ, as =
long as you can tolerate (1) no pre-queuing of discs, (2) turning =
changers on and off as tracks alternate between players, and (3) no =
polling of idle players.

For this cheaper Toslink switch to work, CDJ must turn off all higher =
priority changers when playing from a given changer, so that the digital =
signal from the lowest priority changer is passed through the device.  =
This can be done by setting up a CDJ map to turn off any higher priority =
changers (with cdxxx:power_off events) when there is a "using_player" =
event directed to a changer.  The CDJ map must also respond to a =
using_player event for all but the lowest priority changer, by turning =
on the changer when there is a "using_player" event directed to that =
changer.  You also have to turn off the CDJ option for pre-queuing =
discs, and turn off the CDJ option for polling the status of idle =
changers (so they don't get turned back on).

Hope somebody has interest in this option.
