Re: output help

I tried piping to the SuperCollider program, but I'm guessing I would have to edit the SuperCollider code then so that 
I can tell it what to do with the Piped data?

Thanks,
Stephen

"Capture" in what sense?

On UN*X, and probably on Windows with WinDump, you could pipe the output 
to another program.  The only tricky part would be getting it not to 
buffer the output, so that stuff gets sent down the pipe when the 
packets arrive; you can do that with the "-l" flag.

The "other program" would parse the output of tcpdump and figure out 
what sounds to play.

If you can do that, you don't need to do anything to the tcpdump code.
