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
test here -> http://www.xiph.org/vorbis/listen.html
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
