Bug Description

Getstream does not work on pandaboard. Does not work at all!

The source code is broken. ( It saves the return value of _getopts_ into a char and then compares to -1 )
Which never matches of course and throws the _usage_ message.
It would loop endlessly if there was no _exit_ call in the _usage_

The patch is trivial - change the "ch" variable from char to int.
