+cat << EOF
+XMMS InfoPipe is a plugin that reports XMMS status via named pipe. Handy if you want to add interesting real-time information for a personal web page, or a web cam page.
+
+While there's a possibility of setting up programs to be executed by XMMS when changing songs, XMMS InfoPipe provides better introspection: You can get information on song position, song length, playlist position, status (stopped/playing/paused), song title as displayed by XMMS, and file name. The information is reported in easily parseable textual format.
+
+The possibilities for information use are limitless. So far, here are some of the things people have been using InfoPipe for:
+
+    * Showing information of XMMS on home page, webcam page, or something related (script included)
+    * Showing player information on IRC (spotted one script for Irssi)
+    * Using any speech synthetizer to say the song information, reducing the need for external displays, and helping listening to unfamiliar music in bed when all you have is a remote control =) (script included).
+      Yeah, LIRC plugin seems to support this already, but it only supports ViaVoice - this allows you to use any speech synth... or any other types of output. Just an example of flexibility - I created the script to do that at 4 o'clock in the morning, and even got 99% of Perl recommendations of good coding right, even when I wasn't fully awake =)
