I didn't see his previous question, but I thought this one was rather
valid.
The reason to use wav files instead of mp3s is quality. If you are
building any sort of sound editing or mixing program; that higher
quality counts for a lot. Converting to mp3 for distribution often
makes a lot of sense; although there are sometimes business reasons for
not distributing mp3s commercially.
For The Flex Show, we take wav files, edit them, and turn them into mp3
for distribution. It works quite well and gives us better quality than
we'd have starting w/ an mp3.
Krunal, As best I know, if you want to play wav files in Flex you are
stuck writing your own codec. If you Google around, I have seen
projects that can get Ogg Vorbis files to play. Perhaps you can use
some of the techniques in that to get wav files to play.

flex examples.
In respect to the wav file, why would you wish to use a wav file. The
Sound class can handle mp3 very easily so just convert your wav files
(which IMHO you should be doing anyway), there are tones of free
convertors out there.
If you’re looking for examples on implementing something the check out
