Sorry, kind of OT but mpg321 *is* your backend app.

So far the closest I've gotten to playing streaming mp3 audio with
mpg321 is by "cheating".

$ wget -q -O - http://cerebrum.dnalounge.com:8000/live/128 > stream &
$ mpg321 stream

This is since mpg321 cannot (as far as I know) play from piped
standard input.  This is not a good solution for two reasons: The
connection breaks easily so that the music does not resume once
stopped and the user ends up with a huge stream file on disk.

Anyone know how get mpg321 to stream audio off the net?
