I'm using sox in this setup: sudo timeout 20 rtl_fm -f 115.5M -s 60k -g 45 -p 55 -E wav -E deemp -F 9 - | sox -t wav - test.wav rate 11025, it worked for quite a while but since last week it stopped working and prints this error message:
sox FAIL formats: can't open input `-': WAVE: RIFF header not found
The error message is not really useful though because I specifies the header already with -t wav...What do I need to change to get it to work?

You don't "specify the header" with -t wav, you tell sox that it should expect a file in WAV format on stdin. So sox dutifully starts to parse stdin, and expects a RIFF header as part of the WAV format, but doesn't get it.
So it's not "sox stopped working", it's rtl_fm which is for some reason not producing a valid WAV format. Checking the man page, at least for the version of rtl_fm on the man page, the file type is given by -t wav, and not by -E wav. So check the options to rtl_fm.
Did you introduce a typo last week in the command line?

I found the problem. It was not that rtl_fm send the wrong header but that it sent no header at all because there was no data. After a quick reboot it worked again as usual ;D. Thx for the quick help!
