Hi, I'd appreciate any help on the following problem i'm facing: I'm writing an application that needs to send data from a RealAudio ( .ra) format file over the net to another application that will receive these packets and play the file. To play the file, i'm piping the data to the standard RealPlayer7 program. The pipe seems to keep breaking. I have three questions: 1. Why does the pipe break? 2. If it's because RealPlayer cannot accept piped data, do you know of any program that accepts piped data to play a .ra file? 3. Is there a better way to do what i'm trying? Thanks!
