The problem is the mixed output of STDERR and STDOUT. transcode prints 
its version number to STDERR, while echo prints to STDOUT. Both are 
mixed together by the shell in a non predictable order.

The sleep command workarounds that, but a "transcode -v 2>&1" should do
the trick in a more appropriate way. I'll fix that in the next release.

Thanks for the report.
