MP3 over DNS

A shell pipeline requests encoded audio fragments through DNS, rebuilds the bytes, and plays them: an intentionally inefficient media transport.

The exhibit is deliberately absurd: a shell pipeline requests encoded pieces, turns them back into bytes, and passes the result to an audio player.

It captures the spirit of the collection. DNS is not the ideal audio transport, but it is flexible enough to make the experiment possible.
