  Figured it out.
  
  Go to "render" and under "destination" select "audio only".
  Choose a profile and tinker the settings.

  "group" and "profile name" are up to you, however I'd say these are the best as they are semantic.
  
  You can of course define your own format, codec, bitrate, etc., to suit your needs. The parameters "vn=1 video\_off=1", however, must remain.
