| mkfifo stream.yuv

| 
It should work just fine.  I input images via pielines all the time,
though not a 'yuv' image.

Does mplayer output to the stream.yuv pipeline!


| jpegtools in the above command line writes to the named pipe 
| ./stream.yuv by default, and the mjpegtools use the same default. The 
| following is clipped from the mplayer man page, concerning it's yuv4mpeg 
| output option:
| 
| "yuv4mpeg
|  Transforms the video stream into a sequence of uncompressed YUV 4:2:0  
| images
|  and  stores  it in a file (default: ./stream.yuv).  The format is the 
| same as
|  the one employed by mjpegtools, so this is useful if you want to 
| process  the
|  video  with the mjpegtools suite.  It supports the YV12, RGB (24 bpp) 
| and BGR
|  (24 bpp) format. "
| 
Have you tried without the piepline?
