I know there's c-bypass, but that just disables chain operators. I
wonder if it would be a major project for Kai to write into the code the
ability to block signal going to a chain. Or possibly implement some
kind of internal variable that when a flag was set (possibly c-null)
would internally exchange 'AudioFileOut.wav' with 'null' and back again
when toggled.

I have no clue if these ideas are even implementable. But it's an idea.
