freebsd stable - Mar 2003 - VCD disks

mplayer doesn't seem to take stdin as an input file for me. It is not
tosha's problem.

It can't play the stdin when I do this:

tosha -t 1 -o - | mplayer -

That's strange.  mplayer reads from stdin for me without
any problems, I just checked it (I normally prefer to use
a real DVD player for playing DVDs and VCDs, though).

Also, playing audio CDs directly works fine, like this:
tosha -o - | pcmplay -

(That's very useful if you don't have an audio cable
connection between the CD-ROM drive and the sound card.
And even if you do, the quality will probably be better,
because there's one analogue step less.)

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's
too young to have logged on yet.  Here's what I worry about.  I worry
that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"
