You can send ffmpeg's output to the "tcp" protocol with the "listen"
option:
https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-protocols.html#tcp

That means ffmpeg will basically open a socket which another program
can connect to.

Also, without "listen", you can make that call connect to another
program's socket.

The "unix" protocol is an alternative for local sockets. (On Unix only,
I guess.)
