this doesn't always work.  those fifos do almost no buffering (128
byte?).  as both mplayer and encoder_example are single-threaded, they
will deadlock if mplayer tries to output a video frame while
encoder_example is attempting to read an audio frame (which is of course
doing a blocking read).  it only works if the order of audio/video
frames that mplayer outputs matches excactly the order that
encoder_example expects.
