actually, with linux you don't even need to muck about with making a
fifo. If a program only writes to a filename, you can make that filename
be /proc/self/fd/1 and it'll be writing to stdout anyway. In the
asfrecorder case where it writes to a file named after the URL, i'd
imagine you could symlink the url filename -> /proc/self/fd/1 and it
would still work.
