AFAICS that will never happen for mwave hardware.

Nonetheless, it's a good point that NULL fails for disambiguation, so I 
created the attached, which should do what you want.  I'll push it after 
the compiler gives it a green light (unless it needs further revisions)

(note, for mwave I couldn't use pSettings, since that might fail the 
ambiguity test)
