The wav driver in libao (in CVS) does not support writing to STDOUT and will
probably never support that.  WAV files cannot be written correctly by libao
unless it can seek back to the beginning of the file and write the file
length, which is not possible with stdout.  The correct solution is use a
driver that just writes raw audio samples.  See this message in the mail
archive for the patch:

Now that the end-of-semester crunch is mostly over, I'm going to make another
attempt to get this (and other patches) against libao committed by
someone.  Things have gotten quiet around here since bugzilla came on line, so
I should probably take my issues there.  :)
