Well but when you redirect it to stdout...
But the flushing isn't that necessary.

That would be very nice of you. I'd do the patch myself but I'm going on
holidays for a week so if you could do it in the meantime I'd be very happy.
The exact format isn't important, but it should
- provide enough important information
- be parsable (or parseable?) with a simple regexp
- have a "\n" at the end of a line.

E.g. such as "cdparanoia -e".
