Only noticed this today, in sox one of the filetypes is .dat, from the
manpage:
       .dat      Text Data files
                 These  files contain a textual representation of
                 the sample data.   There  is  one  line  at  the
                 beginning   that   contains   the  sample  rate.
                 Subsequent lines contain two numeric data items:
                 the time since the beginning of the first sample
                 and the sample value.  Values are normalized  so
                 that the maximum and minimum are 1.00 and -1.00.
                 This file format can  be  used  to  create  data
                 files  for external programs such as FFT analyz�
                 ers or graph routines.  SoX can also  convert  a
                 file  in  this format back into one of the other
                 file formats.

Thus, this command should work:
    sox in.wav out.dat
