Description Rob Funk 2004-07-09 21:48:47 UTC

I had been testing AlienStream, and had used the mkfifo command to create a 
named pipe "tmp.wav" in the AlienStream subdirectory of my playlist directory.  
When I browsed that directory through the slimp3 or web interface, the server 
froze. 
 
When I deleted the named pipe and restarted the server, I could browse just 
fine. 
 
So it looks like it would be a good thing to make sure that a file with a 
known audio extension is a regular file (or symlink) before trying to read 
from it.

Routine bug db maintenance; removing old versions which cause confusion.  I apologize for the inconvenience.
