A waveform block that declares samples with no data threw as not
fitting them. PPSA04867 adds such a block with flags 0x11 (data_size 0,
num_samples 16385) and terminates the process on the throw, followed by
a fully specified block under the same flags, which takes the ordinary
path. Accept flag 0x10, named SILENCE here: a dataless block under it
renders num_samples frames of silence and finishes like a complete
block, reporting its bytes through decoded_data_size. A dataless block
without the flag keeps throwing. No public reference names the flag;
the assumption is recorded in TechnicalDebt.
