    OE005 Wildlife Acoustics, Frontier Labs (many) (many) Minor problem

    Also known as WA002.

    Distinct from OE004, and FL003.

    Acoustic sensors can generate null files. These are files that have a length and a size, but are filled only with zeroes.

    This problem is distinct from empty files, small files, short files, or corrupt files.

    Null files can be hard to associate with a manufacturer, because they have no internal metadata, hence why we have a catch all problem identifier.
