[Bug 826] Re: -w option for stdout output doesn't work

[John Steele Scott]

Btw, the -w option seems to work for me.

I use it with slimserver to convert m4a to flac for streaming to a
sqeezebox like so. I have the following line in my slimserver config to
get flac on stdout.

[faad] -w -d -s 44100 -f2 $FILE$ | [flac] -cs --fast --endian=little
--channels=2 --bps=16 --sample-rate=44100 --sign=signed -

This mostly works for me on my PPC box. The problem I am having with
this is that faad does not correctly shutdown when the pipe closes. That
sounds like a different issue to corrupted output.
