Hm.. I've been thinking some time now to patch afsrecorder to support
writing to STDOUT.

Maybe I'll get around to doing it during Christmas.

If only I'd gotten the time to dig into MPlayer sourcecode and fix asx
parsing and mmx streaming there aswell. But with MPlayer I've never
gotten further than to look at cfg-mplayer.h and cfg-mencoder.h
looking for commandline options not yet mentioned in the documentation
:) 

Maybe I'll try that instead during Christmas.
