| And correct completely speculation it is:

| Thanks.  Haven't done anything with popen2 before.

BTW, for the bash equivalent use file descriptor '2'.  Ex:

# redirect stderr to stdout, redirect stdout to a file
mpg123 2>&1 > a_file

# redirect only stderr to a file, let stdout stay on the terminal
mpg123 2>a_file
