This is strange.  This works, but I'm unable to grep the output and I'm not 
sure why.  If I pipe to grep, I get nothing.  I tried redirecting stderr to 
stdout and doesn't seem to work.

[jeremy@serv src]$ ./silan -t 2.0 -s -40d 
"http://live.skidrowstudios.com:8000/live";
Info: signal threshold: 0.010000 ^= -40.000dBFS
0.069569 Sound On
15.814150 Sound Off

Doing the same test:

[jeremy@serv src]$ ./silan -t 2.0 -s -40d 
"http://live.skidrowstudios.com:8000/live"; | grep "Sound Off"
Info: signal threshold: 0.010000 ^= -40.000dBFS


I get nothing.

Thanks
