I am sending input data to SoX to convert an audio file from raw (my 
data) to wav.

Proposal: overwriting any 'b' in popen() with '\0' (or just overwriting 
the second character, that could be already be '\0', or anyway using 
only the first character) in the Linux/Posix implementation would 
improve compatibility at a negligible cost.
Would there be drawbacks?
