mpg123 1.14.2

- Fix writing of WAV to stdout.
It is still not the best of ideas to do so, though. At least make sure to fix rate and channels.

With the 1.14 series, in an attempt to better handle out-of-disk situations, the WAV writing code got changed and that broke writing of WAVs to standard output (raw data with a single WAV header in front). This shall work again with the current release.
