Thank you both for your assistance. Starting with your working script I made a few other minor tweaks and it appears to be working properly. I dropped the "-v" from gst-launch as I only wanted that to assist diagnosing where something failed and I added a trailing "&" to detach the pipeline and allow the script to exit. I also confirmed that I can use killall to stop it playing.
I am starting to work on a script to play an internet stream derived from this one. It requires use of curl to get a few seconds sample of the stream to derive the parameters for playback and the arguments to the script must identify the type of the stream as soxi won't guess it.
