With the attached patch the output and input device can be disabled by
specifying an empty string as device name. Yes, when using an empty
string for both devices there will be a NAS server that can neither play
nor record anything.

Paul's fix is independent from this, his patch needs to be applied,
preferably before this patch (otherwise it will apply with an offset).
