 With the following change to simulate an early failure:

 {{{

      int ret = 0;

 -    if (!frame)
 +    //if (!frame)
          return AVERROR(ENOMEM);

      do {
 }}}

 ffplay hangs when playing any audio-only file without any diagnostic.

 (A similar failure can happen in real conditions, especially if the audio
 filter can be configured alone but not for the audio hardware parameters.)
