Okay ... it turns out that there are a couple of issues. The good news is that the -s option of vsound actually does work. The even better news is that the .au stream is written directly to standard output in real time, and no intermediate file is created. First: When you run trplayer, make sure you specify -q so that it doesn't write the "contacting" and "buffering" lines, as it writes them to standard output which interferes with the audio stream. Second: There's a bug in the vsound script which makes it fail with an error when -s is specified. Since it writes the error to standard output, you don't end up seeing it if you've either piped or redirected standard otput. The fix is easy. Change line 142 as follows: old: if [ "$verbose" ] && [ "$VSOUND_STDOUT" ]; then new: if [ "$verbose" = 1 ] && [ "$VSOUND_STDOUT" ]; then -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
