Hi, I've tried for a few hours, and I am at a roadblock. What I am trying to do, is pipe raw pcm sound from /dev/dsp to oggenc, and save it to a scalar. In the code below, I can create an ogg file, or dump the binary data to stdout. But I can't seem to capture the stdout from oggenc. I tried IO::Tee and a few other things, but I can't seem to capture the data I see flying by on the screen.

Does anyone know if this type of capture is possible? 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Audio::DSP;

$|++;

my ($buf, $chan, $fmt, $rate) = (4096, 1, 16, 22050);

my $dsp = new Audio::DSP(buffer   => $buf,
                     channels => $chan,
                     format   => $fmt,
                     rate     => $rate);

$dsp->init() || die $dsp->errstr();

#this method dosn't work 
#close STDOUT; 
#my $ogg_out = ''; 
#open STDOUT, '>', \$ogg_out, or die "Couldn't redirect STDOUT to $ogg
+_out: $!"; 


#this will dump the encoded ogg to STDOUT 
my $pid = open(OGGIN, "| oggenc -Q -r -R 22050 --resample 8000 -C 1 -q
+ 2 -  ")  
                 or warn "No oggenc $!\n"; 

#this will dump it to a file 
#my $pid = open(OGGIN, "| oggenc -Q -r -R 22050 --resample #8000 -C 1 
+-q 2 - | cat > $0.ogg  ")
#                 or warn "No oggenc $!\n";

while (my $buffer = $dsp->dread(4096) )  {
     syswrite( OGGIN, $buffer, length($buffer) );
          }


# of course, cntrl-c out of the while loop never lets this print 
# but I include it to show what I'm after 
#print $ogg_out;
