Something strange, it looks like setting '-n' option via the api also
disables audio output to dac.
See the following example:

class csoundServer():
	def __init__(self):
		# setup csound
		csoundInitialize(3)
		self.csound = Csound()
		self.csound.SetOption("-odac3")
		#self.csound.SetOption("-n")   
		self.csound.SetOption("-b 1024") 
		self.csound.SetOption("-B 2048") 

This produces sound with the loaded csd (not shown here)

When I uncomment the '-n' option line, I get no audio output. It should only
suppress writing a file to disk.

Ok, got it. Maybe the docs could be more clear on this.

No, “disk” means everything. So -n will stop sound going everywhere. By setting -o dac3 you will stop sound going to disk.
