If your input device is named in the file system (e.g., 
"/dev/something"), then you can just use the same code as before; 
just change the variable "inputFileName".

If your input device is not named in the file system, but you have 
(or can create) an open file (i.e., a "FILE*") for it, then simply 
use this "FILE*" instead of the file name in the call to 
"ByteStreamFileSource::createNew()".
