I am unable to pipe to ogg123 with cat, but redirecting with < works fine.

Error opening - using the oggvorbis module.  The file may be corrupted.

I have same problem with a variety of ogg files (but redirecting with <
works fine).

This works:

rainier:~$ ogg123 -v - < ~/audio/acdc-who_made_who.ogg

I was unable to get to http://www.vorbis.com/faq.psp to check first.

My goal is to use ssh to cat a remote ogg vorbis data file to pipe through
my local ogg123. I'd prefer to not run ogg123 on remote box and piping the
wav data to my player (which does work fine) because I assume it needs a
lot more bandwidth.

Any ideas?
