Summary:                    [patch] streamplayer-like utility, but for anything
that comes out of a shell pipe
Description: 
streamplayer Asterisk utility can only be used for raw TCP streams.

I just adapted the utility to be useful with anything that comes from a
shell pipe and added it to my "pipe chain" for my streaming music-on-hold.
The utility takes input from stdin (in 2k blocks) and sends it to stdout
only if the write would not block. As explained in streamplayer, Asterisk
blocks writes to stdout when it does not need the MOH source, but streaming
mpg123/sox I use would still be outputting data.

This effectively gets rid of the error I had in my Asterisk at various
intervals depending on music-on-hold usage:

the past?!?!

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
This builds a utility that goes into /usr/sbin/ (or other appropriate
destination).  In 1.8, it needs the

streamnoblock: streamnoblock.o

line in utils/Makefile

but needs

  <member name="streamnoblock">
        <defaultenabled>no</defaultenabled>
  </member>

added to menuselect-tree just before the similar lines for "streamplayer"
to make it selectable (and off by default) in the Utilities menu.

It also needs the line

   int s;

removed to eliminate a compiler warning for an unused variable.
