as it is, CDJ won't let you turn off changers, it will turn them back on
again.

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.
http://www.hometheaterworld.com/hometheaterworld/audautmod11d.html
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.
