[fpc-pascal] Pipe vs Memory buffer.

Huh, IMO, the translation is ok. 
The problem is that the method ask for a memory buffer and I give a pipe.

Yes, for example, mpg123 library is very happy with this:

PipeBufferSize := $4000 ;

CreatePipeHandles(InHandle, OutHandle, PipeBufferSize);

InPipe := TInputPipeStream.Create(InHandle);
OutPipe := TOutputPipeStream.Create(OutHandle);
httpget := TThreadHttpGetter.Create(opus_url,OutPipe);

mpg123_open_handle(AHandle, Pointer(InPipe));

But for Opus library, there is error while using:

op_test_memory(pointer(InPipe),PipeBufferSize, Err);

Like Michael explained, the buffer of the pipe must be entered.

And I do not know how to do this... ;-(
