wav header is written for the program after `audiowmark`, so that this can
figure out the parameters of the stream.
There are two cases where this is problematic. The first case is if the full
length of the stream is not known at the time processing starts. Then a wav
header cannot be used, as the wav file contains the length of the stream. The
second case is that the program before or after `audiowmark` doesn't support wav
headers.
For these two cases, raw streams are available. The idea is to set all
information that is needed like sample rate, number of channels,... manually.
Then, headerless data can be processed from stdin and/or sent to stdout.
