Subject: [SDL] Dummy Audio Output

Is there also a Dummy AudioOutput Driver ?

There is the DiskOut Driver, but it would be also
good for performance testing and other things to
have a Dummy AudioOutput Driver.
Comment 1 Ryan C. Gordon 2006-03-14 04:07:24 UTC 
Dummy audio driver is now in CVS. export SDL_AUDIODRIVER="dummy" to use it.

It won't ever select unless SDL_AUDIODRIVER is explicitly set to "dummy", so that SDL_Init can fall through with an error if there isn't a legitimate audio device.
