mp2enc has an option for raw audio. It requires a commandline option for samplerate/num_channels/bits. In principle, this could be used for other apps too. For simple applications (8/16 bit, Mono/Stereo), this should work. Another option is wav, but wav isn't really streamable since the total size of the audio data is in the header. Many apps still deal with streamed wav-files by ignoring the size fields in the header and reading audio samples until EOF. But IMO creating incorrect files is always bad (even if they are meant for pipes only). Recently I also wanted to send arbitrary audio data through pipes and sockets and I invented my own format (based on gavl).
