I think madlld simply writes raw PCM samples; in order for Windows 
programs to recognize the audio data, you will need to add a RIFF/WAVE 
header.

See audio_wave.c in the madplay distribution for an example of this.

Beware also that madlld writes samples in big-endian format; you'll 
need to write little-endian samples to WAVE files.
