It's still unrelated, since diafero was talking about the network traffic, not the data... Either one can be either encrypted or unencrypted completely independently of the other.
Back to the original question though, there is actually a preprocessor flag in Cyan's code which can disable encryption (namely, "NO_ENCRYPTION")... Although there isn't one in DirtSand yet, modifying it to include such an option would probably be fairly easy. However, that would only help you with the DirtSand side, since the MOULa server will still require encryption (and will boot you out if your connection is not encrypted, unless Cyan changes it on their end).
However, I must say your question came with great timing... Just yesterday, I started playing with an idea to log and analyze the network traffic completely independently of the encryption, by means of adding some special logging code to the client, and a tool to listen to it. If you want to play around with this (and better yet, help me add to it), the code is on github -- the tool itself is plNetLog (also on the H-uru projects), and you'll need the netlog branch of Plasma to make it work.
