[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] support for playing from named pipes (fifo)

[Martin Josefsson]

Hi,

I found myself having the need for playing from a named pipe and found out
that it didn't work so I added support for it.

I don't know if it's OS independant, it works fine on Linux.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
