Planck's constant and suppressed vacuum fields

Hi there,
Have a question regarding Planck's constant in partially suppressed
vacuum fields (ie Casimir effect for eg). I recently read an
interesting paper by L. de la Pena on the contribution from stochastic
electrodynamics to the understanding of quantum mechanics where he
talks about his new approach using LSED (as opposed to the previous
failed SED):
http://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0501011
In the introduction he mentions that Planck's constant is a measure of
the magnitude of the fluctuations of the vacuum field...
My question is what happens to Planck's constant between the Casimir
plates? There are more field modes outside the plates then inside
since only discrete frequencies are allowed between the plates (The
Quantum Vacuum, Milonni p 97) so in effect the background fluctuating
field is partially suppressed inside the plates, wouldn't this affect
h?
If the field is totally suppressed, h->0?
Would like to clarify this thought, thanks.
Cheers, Paul Titze.
