Transcode creates a named pipe (FIFO) to receive data from mplayer,
and this line is saying it can't create the pipe because a file with the
same name already exists. It looks like transcode always uses the same
filename, stream.yuv in the current directory, for the pipe, so if you
killed transcode (or it crashed, etc.) and the pipe from an old run is
left around, then creating the new one will fail.
Arguably the "correct" solution is to use a temporary filename and
modify it as needed so that it doesn't point to an existing file, but for
now just delete the "stream.yuv" pipe file and things should work fine.
(Incidentally, the "OPEN failed" above is referring to the OPEN
operation of the module, which does not necessarily mean literally
opening a file.)
