I'm building an amp right now, and I've seen volume knobs that also has a SPST-ish switch built in. What I'm talking about is those knobs where it makes a clicking noise when you turn it on and off and after turning it on, you can adjust the volume. Can this be purchased from digikey or mouser, and can it be used in place of a regular volume knob?

The Alps RK097 pot has this feature, but it is a bit hard to get. Tangent offers them in his parts shop, and I believe JMT still has some left, he has a post in the mallfi section of headfi.
