Hi,
Bad news that you failed - what went wrong and what was the workaround?
Thanks for the useful links, I'll go back to them if my approach fails.
Right now I'm stuck on a 'Broken pipe' exception while writing a stream from
the TTS-generated file to the console where Lame executes.
The approach is to execute Lame in a console which converts the inputstream
from PCm to mp3. The inputstream is generated from the file which the TTS
engine is still writing to.
It is the
bouts.write(b);
that generates the "broken pipe" exception.
Here is the code if anyone wants to help

String command = "/bin/bash -c \"/usr/bin/lame -r -x -m m -b 32 -s 22.05 - - >
output.mp3\" ";
log.info("COMMAND: "+command );
BufferedOutputStream bouts=null;
BufferedInputStream bfins=null;
BufferedReader br2=null;
BufferedReader input=null;
try {
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = rt.exec(command);
bouts=new BufferedOutputStream(pr.getOutputStream());//will
use this stream to send data to Lame
File tmpFile = new File(tmpOutputFileNamePath);// this is
the file where data is being written from the TTS
while(tmpFile.exists()==false)
{
log.info("File does not exist yet... going to sleep" );
Thread.sleep(500);
}
bfins = new BufferedInputStream(new
FileInputStream(tmpFile));
int b=0;
int noOfBytesAvailable=0;
// Read chunks of bytes and write them to the Lame input
stream
while(ttsThreadObj.isAlive()) // TODO might miss some data
when the thread has finished
{
noOfBytesAvailable= bfins.available();
if(noOfBytesAvailable>0)
{
log.info(noOfBytesAvailable +" bytes available" );
for( ;noOfBytesAvailable>0;noOfBytesAvailable--)
{
b=bfins.read();
bouts.write(b);
}
}
else {
log.info("Nothing available..." );
}
}
