Pipes: is this possible?

["George Lenzer" <glenzer chuhpl lib oh us>]

I have a situation where I would like to record audio into my computer using
something like 'yarec' at a shell.  I would like to simultaneously pipe the
output to an MP3 encoder like 'encoder' or 'bladeenc'.  Is this possible?

Here is what I though the command would look like:

'yarec > temp.wav < bladeenc'

I haven't tried it yet, since my machine is at home, but would this work or
is there something else I would need to do.

Second scenario is that I would like to extract audio from a CD and
simultaneouly convert the output to MP3.  I've tried this, but it doesn't
work:

'cdparanoia -sB > bladeenc *'

I KNOW that has to be wrong, but I can't think of how to put the operators
in correctly.

Any ideas?
