I'm not familiar with that. When I last tried "named pipes" on windows,
they were not supported by the mainstream version (windows 98 or XP, not
sure). And, as usual, Microsoft have invented yet another API to use
them. Borland's C library (which I used to develop SL many years ago)
doesn't have popen() so I'd have to use the plain Win32 API, i.e
"CreateNamedPipe" with an awful bunch of parameters, etc.
Most of the rest would be like file I/O (I guess).. will take a closer
look when time permits.
Cheers,

A further thought - does SL have the means to open a pipe and
read raw samples from it? A popen() system call?
If so, a more general interface is possible. SL could open a
pipe to a script on the PC. The script makes an ssh connection
to the Pi and invokes some arbitrary command, perhaps a vtread
command to retrieve historic signal. The command runs on the
Pi and its output arrives at SL through the pipe.
