Yes, IEC 958 Output is the SPDIF output. And you can only switch it on/off
by unmuting/muting it. So a mono control is enough. I don't know how to do
this using amixer, but you could try
alsamixer, 
the console based 'graphical' ALSA mixer tool. Hitting <space> you can
select your input source and hitting <m> you can mute/unmute channels. And there
are some other keys... :) Have a look at man alsamixer.
