Is this what you mean?

% mkfifo pipe1
% toolame -m s pipe1 foo.mp3 &
% mplayer -cache 512 -vc null -vo null -ao pcm:file=pipe1
http://138.25.162.211:8080

It's crashing and burning:

...
Connecting to server 138.25.162.211[138.25.162.211]: 8080...
...
Starting playback...
...
Could not seek to PCM sound data in "pipe1".
...
MPlayer interrupted by signal 13 in module: play_audio
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We
  can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a
  possible bug.

Any ideas?
