[MPlayer-users] Mplayer in Windows, No way to make FIFO to use with "-slave -input file=fifo"?

[joe at joethielen.com]

OK, thanks.  I am pretty sure neither mkfifo from Cygwin nor mkfifo
from GNUWin32/coreutils really do anything, so this might not help.  I
saw somewhere you could do it via MS VB or something, but I don't have
that.  I am looking for something simple, if possible.
