orry, I didn't mean to imply that it did, just hadn't got around to
testing it yet.  I originally worked out the fifo method when dealing
with a young mp3 encoder that wouldn't work with stdin, and later
adapted it slightly to make it work with frontends such as grip where
the ripping program is expected to complete with a resulting wav file
before the encoder process is started.

just in case anyone was wondering why I went to such pains in the
first place, hopefully somebody will find the concept useful.
