The developer of the shell-fm software just gave me a clue as to why it is so painful to try to play anything through stdin with mplayer: apparently mplayer does aggressive caching and won't start playing until it gets some large amount of input first. shell-fm has an "extern" function that'll fork off a process to play through an external player, but it won't work because mplayer is expecting to grab quite a bit of the stream. -ken _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
