But proc/$$/fd/1 references the callers  stdout and not the callees as /dev/stdout or /proc/self/fd/2 if called from eg. from bash, because it is expanded before the call. What I was able to do is to inject messages into the callers stdout and read from the callers stdin, which is when executing under elevated priviledges (the behaviour you would want for a sudo). As said echo >/proc/$$/fd/1 hello world is not the problem and works fine as you said as well. (I probably should not have said strangely in the first place, because it is a whole different deal...)
