I would have thought there was little danger of an issue. After all, the
file type has been around since the early 1990s to my knowledge and is
basically a pcm file. Other compressed formats can be used to hide things
in.

Maybe to share. While MP3 doesn't offer the highest fidelity, it's the
most common audio file format and just about everyone can play it. Some
people might balk at downloading or trying to play a WAV file because
they don't know what it is.

Absolutely. I think HTML5's AUDIO element doesn't allow WAV for MS
Internet Explorer and Edge. I'm not sure about this and will follow up
when I have some information.
