[nas] playing /dev/stdin

[Paul Fox]

have you tried "auplay -"?  the reason that /dev/stdin breaks is
probably that the code does special things to handle stdin if you
use "-" as the filename.  otherwise it tries to seek on the file,
which fails when the input is a pipe.  see the code in
lib/audio/snd.c:SndOpenFileForReading().
