Ouch! I took some ideas from mpg123's wav.c:

truct
{
   byte riffheader[4];
   byte WAVElen[4];
   struct
   {
      byte fmtheader[8];

[...]
   } WAVE;
} RIFF =
{  { 'R','I','F','F' } , { sizeof(RIFF.WAVE),0,0,0 } ,
   {  { 'W','A','V','E','f','m','t',' ' } , { sizeof(RIFF.WAVE.fmt),0,0,0} ,
      { {1,0} , {0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0,0,0},{0,0},{0,0} } ,
      { { 'd','a','t','a' }  , {0,0,0,0} }
   }
};

... and later:

   fwrite(&RIFF, sizeof(RIFF),1,wavfp);

Odd that padding doesn't break mpg123 ;)

But mpg123 uses a mess of "longtolittleendian" to resolve endian issues;
there must be a cleaner way to do this.
