How to create null output effect?

I want to write a program just don't produce output file. How can I do that? I try to create sox_format_t with empty string or NULL string:

sox_format_t* out = sox_open_write(NULL, &signalInfo, &encodingInfo, NULL, NULL, NULL);
sox_format_t* out = sox_open_write("", &signalInfo, &encodingInfo, NULL, NULL, NULL);

I try to pass 0 args to output effect:

sox_effect_options(outputEffect, 0, args);

None of them work.

Solution

  • i try this code and it worked

    sox_format_t* out = sox_open_write("", &signalInfo, &encodingInfo, "null", NULL, NULL);

    but combine with 'trim' and 'noiseprof', my program print error message with no noise profile file.
