Your surmise is correct. This example reads and writes raw pcm without a wav header (see 'trivial' :/). So it treated the wav header on your input file as audio data (it's short, so at most you'd hear a blup at the start) and then wrote out the decoded data without a wav header, which is why (a) vlc doesn't recognize it and (b) the size is slightly off.

You can use a utility like sox or audacity to convert the 'raw pcm' data to wav, and vice versa.
