1) only in HEAD, enhancements should be tested there first.
2) Does this create valid 8bit .wav files out of the box?

I've already applied the patch to HEAD, so if someone wants to try and
test it... Go ahead. ;). I'll test that too before actually applying
the patch.

The rest of wavenc actually handles 8bit sound everywhere, I think the
pad template was just copied from lame or so, which only handles 16bit.

After testing the above (it works!), I suddenly realize why noone uses
8bit audio these days. I don't see any reason why people would want
this, so since it'll only cause problems, this won't go into 0.6.x.

Oh, for people testing it (will attach some sample code), this is not
a bug, it's a feature.
