return if a waveheader can't be allocated in JACK_Write

Description

JACK_Write in libs/libmyth/bio2jack.c tries to allocate a wave header. It checks to see if it was successful. But it only reports. Later in the same function, it dereferences the wave header pointer. Which would cause a segfault.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

(In [16262]) If a malloc fails, exit cleanly. Very unlikely, but no harm to check. Closes #4747
