Darkice FreeBSD named pipe (fwd)

[Jason L. Ellison]

I'm cross posting this incase anyone knows the answer.

---------- Forwarded message ----------

Hello List,

  I was using darkice to write a [file] to a named pipe.  This functioned
on linux but on FreeBSD 6.1 darkice fails to use the fifo as a file.  Is
this a darkice issue?  Or have I done something wrong in FreeBSD land?
