I agree.

Yes, you're right about the single string. I'm not sure what you mean
exactly with the datafeed. Do you mean to create an ascii file which is
than piped into that other program?

Such as:

cat | workbone
9
0
^D

and have mc do the file creation and pipe command to play a CD?
Or do you mean something completely different?
