[swfmill] stdin & stdout

[Dan Shryock]

Steve,

I've recently been trying to use stdin and stdout from c# for piping
through ffmpeg, and I've had some luck as long as I use one thread for
feeding the stdin, and another thread for reading from stdout.  It
works sometimes, but it doesn't seem reliable.  When I don't use two
threads, I can't get it to work because it doesn't like when I push
too much or read more than is ready (I usually end up getting
deadlocks on the read from stdout at that point).  I don't know if
this will help you, or if you have any ideas on why my situation isn't
working but I thought we might be able to help each other.
