I don't know if Mathematica can calculate it simbolically, but if you
calculate it numerically with enough precision, you can use the
Plouffe's Inverter ( http://pi.lacim.uqam.ca/eng/ ) to check that it
is Pi*E/24 (or at least, very very close to)

NIntegrate[s^s(1-s)^(1-s)Sin[Pi s],{s,0,1}, WorkingPrecision->40]
0.355822259278065294394314619564

N[Pi*E/24,30]
0.355822259278065294394314619564
