That's strange. mplayer reads from stdin for me without
any problems, I just checked it (I normally prefer to use
a real DVD player for playing DVDs and VCDs, though).
Also, playing audio CDs directly works fine, like this:
tosha -o - | pcmplay -
(That's very useful if you don't have an audio cable
connection between the CD-ROM drive and the sound card.
And even if you do, the quality will probably be better,
because there's one analogue step less.)

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's

that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"
