Anullsrc

Audio Single output Source

Null audio source, return empty audio frames.

FFmpeg filter: anullsrc — the official reference.

Generate a stream. Anullsrc is a source — it has no input, so you create a stream from it rather than applying it to one:

$audio = \FFmpeg\AudioStream::generate(new Anullsrc(…));

apply() and addFilter() do not apply to source filters (there is nothing to attach them to).

When to use it

TODO — when this filter shines: what it’s the right tool for, what to reach for instead when it isn’t, and how it composes with neighbouring filters.

How to use it

TODO — prose: how the filter actually works and what its key parameters mean (the explanation FFmpeg’s terse option help omits).

Examples

TODO — runnable PHP, with the equivalent ffmpeg CLI alongside.
