Mplayer stream to stdout

[norim]

Hello everybody!
Can anyone explain to me what this script does:

#!/bin/bash
if [ -n "`ls /tmp/asterisk-moh-pipe.*`" ]; then
rm /tmp/asterisk-moh-pipe.*
fi
PIPE="/tmp/asterisk-moh-pipe.$$"
mknod $PIPE p

mplayer -really-quiet -nowaveheader -quiet -shuffle -ao pcm -format 8192 -channels 1 -af resample=8000 -aofile $PIPE "$@" 2>/dev/null | cat $PIPE 2>/dev/null

rm $PIPE

And it is taken from here

P.S
Basically what I am trying to do is to have mms:// radio to be As music on Hold in Asterisk PBX and for that, script should output raw audio to stdout, like it is done here:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/wget -q -O - http://govoritmoskva.ru:8100/GovoritMoskva-92FM_MP3_LQ | /usr/bin/madplay -Q -z -o raw:- --mono -R 8000 -a -12 -

At the moment I didn't find any solutions on the internet how to have mms radio as your MOH so making this work would be a great help for everyone who wants to have this craziness on their PBX

here is the script to play mms:// stream for MOH in Asterisk PBX

#!/bin/bash
if [ -n "`ls /tmp/asterisk-moh-pipe.*`" ]; then
rm /tmp/asterisk-moh-pipe.*
fi
PIPE="/tmp/asterisk-moh-pipe"
mknod $PIPE p

mplayer mms://stream.rfn.ru/mayak -really-quiet -quiet -shuffle -ao pcm -format 0x2000 -channels 1 -af resample=8000 -ao pcm:file=$PIPE | cat $PIPE
rm $PIPE
