I and my students have encountered numerous problems using WAVs (of
course, _we're_ not professionals!) as opposed to AIFFs.

Aren't some of the WAVs compressed?

We've seen WAVs that worked in Rev fine on one platform but not another,
and vice-versa (no apparent pattern, but, then, given that the WAV
solution appeared to be 'no worky', we didn't look, either).

FWIW...
