I did, several times, as well as the man page. I've also confirmed with
their mailing list that madplay does not directly support streaming,
and that the recommended way is through a pipe which is what I tried
first.

So my question now is why do the pipes that work fine on the command
line not work in musiconhold.conf as the "application", or a shell
script with the same pipes as the "application"? 

That means either of these:

application=/usr/local/bin/curl http://stream.example.com:8000/
| /usr/local/bin/madplay --mono -R 8000 --output=snd:- -

application=/usr/local/bin/wget -O - http://stream.example.com:8000
| /usr/local/bin/madplay --mono -R 8000 -

moh reload or restarting Asterisk doesn't launch processes of curl,
wget, or madplay in either of the above examples.

Thanks.
