That's not exactly right, although you're on the right track.
For normal audio, there are no restrictions. If the audio is DRM
protected, the audio subsystem will simply refuse to play it if there is
an unsigned driver in the stack.
The protection mechanism doesn't work at a sufficiently fine-grained
level to do the kind of blocking you're talking about.
