\section pcm_plugins_null Plugin: Null

This plugin discards contents of a PCM stream or creates a stream with zero
samples.

Note: This implementation uses devices /dev/null (playback, must be writable)
and /dev/full (capture, must be readable).

pcm.name {
        type null               # Null PCM
