Do you know how to use madplay to play streams with Asterisk? madplay
doesn't support streams directly as far as I can tell, so I tried like
this but it doesn't work in Asterisk (even though it works fine on the
command line): 

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

I tried "moh reload" as well as restarting * itself. I tried with just
curl grabbing the stream without the pipe and that worked (only static
of course since it's not in the right format), so am I doing something
wrong in musiconhold.conf when trying to make the pipe? There are no
errors on the Asterisk console.

I also tried the same command in a shell script and set "application="
in musiconhold.conf to that shell script which did not work either. By
not working, I mean no curl or madplay processes running and no sound
outputted to the caller.

Thanks again.
