What is the format of the loadfile slave command for a named pipe
under windows?

I have tried

loadfile \\.\pipe\pipename

This does not work, yet

mplayer \\.\pipe\pipename

works fine from the command line

I have also tried forward slashes (which works for 'normal' files) and
doubling the number of back slashes
