What is the use case to run Direwolf without an audio device? As for a work around, you could try creating an ALSA loopback device and see if Direwolf will accept that:

Currently i'm trying to run it on VM to push objects to APRS-IS. I'll try to use aloop, thanks!

Does "ADEVICE null null" not work?

I am running without an audio device without error, using a modified version of the sdr.conf file in the repo. Specifically the line ADEVICE null null does the trick.
