mplayer does not seem to write to the audiodump.wav file made with mkfifo 
(which is not busybox).

Not on my PI, which won't work with the first version.

I will try on a PII some time soon.  Or maybe get the SW81 bare.i and all 
the sound kernels to match and try that some time.  I hope you get your

so library).
