Wil,

I can't help you with "ffmpeg", but if you have a command "foo" that 
generates MPEG-1 or 2 Program Stream output (i.e., audio+video) to stdout, 
then you can try the following, in turn:

1/ Do
         foo > test.mpg
then run (the original, unmodified)
         testOnDemandRTSPServer
This should work.  If not, then your command "foo" probably does not 
produce a correct MPEG-1 or 2 Program Stream data.

2/ Then, change "testOnDemandRTSPServer.cpp" to use "stdin" instead of 
"test.mpg".  You should also change the definition of "reuseFirstSource" to 
be "True" rather than "False".  You should then be able to do the following:
         testOnDemandRTSPServer < test.mpg

3/ Assuming that both 1/ and 2/ work OK, you should then be able to do:
         foo | testOnDemandDTSPServer
