We can already disable audio from interleaved files (essentially, this resets the audio
matrix for all existing input channels). There is already a Mantis feature entry to
'enable disabling' of video as well. Don't know how much thinking Carl has
already spent on that. It would make creating OV/VFs a lot easier.
Admittedly, there are ways around it currently, usually by creating an intermediate DCP
that allows you to extract audio and/or subtitles and then reuse the encoded video.

Actually, this would be high on my wish list, but for different reasons.
I often find I need to combine the video from one file/DCP with audio from another
video file.
What would be great is if there was an "Ignore video" checkbox on the video tab
(or a "Use video" checkbox which defaults to ticked).
Two use cases:
1. I have made a DCP, but now filmmaker wants to change the audio mix. I am provided a
ProRes file containing video (which I don't need) and the new audio.
At present, I have to export the audio from the ProRes as e.g. WAV, and then import the
WAV into DCP-o-matic.
It'd be faster to be able to import the ProRes direct to DCP-o-matic and ask it
ignore the video and use the audio only.
2. Existing DCP needs a shot substituted (quite common, particularly to correct a
misspelled/omitted name in credits).
The shot to be dropped in is provided as a video file with no audio.
At present, I need to export the existing audio from the DCP, then create a video file
containing both the new shot + the audio. That file can then be cut into the timeline in
DCP-o-matic.
Again, it'd be easier if could do it all in DCP-o-matic without the extra step.
There are workarounds for both, so it's probably not the most important, but if
it's easy to implement then it'd be very useful.
I've created a Mantis issue: https://dcpomatic.com/mantis/view.php?id=1554
