I believe it will be very difficult to do this. /tmp/pipe.dd.gz is used by growisofs as a pathspec for mkisofs which reads its file attributes. Especially the size of the data content is of interest. But the FIFO will not be able to tell that size - even if you could talk mkisofs into reading the FIFO as a regular file. I am aware of only one way to make mkisofs accept a sequential stream as source of data content. That is option -stream-media-size which according to man mkisofs may not be used together with "multi-session or hybrid filesystem options." I understand that ban includes option -M .
