Bug#680101: mpg123: writing wav to stdout still works ugly

[dimas]

well, in my case:

>14:19:03 186 ~/downloads/music/Sword/1986 Metalized$ /usr/bin/mpg123 -q -w /dev/stdout 01.mp3 | file -
[wav.c:143] error: cannot even write a single byte: Illegal seek
[audio.c:630] error: failed to open audio device
[mpg123.c:902] error: Failed to initialize output, goodbye.
/dev/stdin: very short file (no magic)
>14:19:23 186 ~/downloads/music/Sword/1986 Metalized$ /usr/bin/mpg123 -q -w - 01.mp3 | file -
[wav.c:428] warning: Cannot rewind WAV file. File-format isn't fully conform now.
/dev/stdin: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz

with "-w /dev/stdout" it drops errors and outputs nothing. but with "-w -" it successfully outputs wav file.
i have version 1.14.2+svn20120622-1, most recent in Debian testing.
