Oops I hadn't seen the existing Mantis entry. Have put my
comments on that issue instead. Thanks Carsten.

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.

As far as I know, you can't disable video-track in DCP-o-matic.
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
