Re: LF: Testing Audioinjector Octo with RPi3

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,
  Wolf .
