Have you tried setting up a FIFO that each program opens and treats as a WAV file? That might be the way to have them talk to each other.

mkfifo /var/tmp/radio gqrx --output /var/tmp/radio mondiale --input /var/tmp/radio

though I havent' a clue what the two programs do at the commmand level.

Hmm... maybe using 'nc' (netcat) to listen to that UDP port and then feed the info into either the FIFO or directly into the other tool? Are they open source? It might just be time to hack some source to do what you want... I also think the JACK audio thing might work, where you setup some virtual Mics and Feeds to connect the two programs together. John
