It may not be the WAV format that is the problem, but the format of the 
WAV.  For example, I used Nero to try to burn audio CD.  Nero tried to 
do on-the-fly format conversion before burning.  That process took up 
99% CPU time and sometimes caused the burn to fail.  Then, I tried 
manually converting the format before running Nero.  Now Nero burns the 
CD without a problem.  So, the format of the WAV makes a difference; 
maybe your player has a problem with it.
