And you're on Linux, right? That's peculiar. I'm also using csound 
3.482, with the glibc patches.

OK, I'll give that a try too... I'm interested to see what might be the 
practical differences between this approach and the popen() approach.

Yes, I think it is broken. Today I spent some time playing with the 
buffers and noticed that csound seems to automatically set the size for 
-B to be twice as much as what you give -b. The -B flag seems to have no 
effect at all, at least in linux csound 3.482...
