`intermediate.dat' premature EOF: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Description

On FreeBSD, make check spouts a load of:

ok     channels=3 "u8" <--> "u32".
ok     channels=3 "u8" <--> "f32".
ok     channels=3 "u8" <--> "f64".
/home/martin/sox_ng/src/.libs/sox_ng FAIL sox_ng: `intermediate.dat' premature EOF: Inappropriate ioctl for device
ok     channels=3 "u8" <--> "dat".
ok     channels=3 "u8" <--> "au".
ok     channels=3 "u8" <--> "wav".

and one occurrence of

sox_ng FAIL sox_ng: `intermediate.voc' premature EOF: Inappropriate ioctl for device

and in one test run, only the intermediate.voc message showed.

Analysis

It happens during all conversions of "something" <--> "dat"
and of "u8 in wav" <--> "voc" (the only voc one).

Conclusion

It seems harmless, if annoying.
