Hi there, especially the Core Audio team,

The documentation for AudioUnitGetProperty() says:

public func AudioUnitGetProperty(_ inUnit: AudioUnit, _ inID: 
AudioUnitPropertyID, _ inScope: AudioUnitScope, _ inElement: AudioUnitElement, 
_ outData: UnsafeMutableRawPointer, _ ioDataSize: UnsafeMutablePointer<UInt32>) 
-> OSStatus

> outData: … Set this parameter to NULL when calling this function if you only 
> want to determine how much memory to allocate for a variable size property.


I cannot, for the life of me, get Swift 3 to create a NULL pointer. With Swift 
2 it seems this was possible. With Swift 3 I am supposed to pass in nil 
instead. But since outData is a non-optional I am not allowed to do that.

Interestingly, AudioUnitGetPropertyInfo() also works with passing NULL for its 
inOut parameters, which are optionals:

public func AudioUnitGetPropertyInfo(_ inUnit: AudioUnit, _ inID: 
AudioUnitPropertyID, _ inScope: AudioUnitScope, _ inElement: AudioUnitElement, 
_ outDataSize: UnsafeMutablePointer<UInt32>?, _ outWritable: 
UnsafeMutablePointer<DarwinBoolean>?) -> OSStatus

Is outData being a non-optional intentional and, if so, how should I pass in 
NULL?

Thanks,
Benjamin
