yep, .ogg would be even better

my safari, FF3 and opera all work fine playing an ogg file

it looks like most modern browsers will play oggs

being uncompressed, wav could be a bad format for network performance,
i assume/hope the wavs are cached locally by the broswer, ?!

supported, compressed and FOSS makes ogg the perfect choice for me
