Hm, there's probably a better way, but I would guess sox and cat
could handle this.  I haven't tried it, but maybe something like:

    sox -c 2 -r 44100 -w 1.wav 1.raw
    sox -c 2 -r 44100 -w 2.wav 2.raw
    cat 1.raw 2.raw > 3.raw
    sox -c 2 -r 44100 -w 3.raw 3.wav

I just skimmed its manpage, but I think it will look at file
extensions like that to figure out what it's reading and writing,
and I think the -c -r -w are needed at least in the last step.
If your number of channels, sample rate, or resolution differ,
of course, change those...
