Put the "-b 16" option immediately before the output file argument.  You
can also drop all the format options preceding the -p since the pipe
format already includes all information.

That said, why don't you do the splitting directly with the rec command?
This should work:

$ rec -c 2 -b 16 -r 48000 test.wav trim 0 10 : newfile : restart
