The Waveform Audio File Format (WAV) is a container format for audio data developed by Microsoft and IBM. Although the format supports pretty much any audio codec, it almost always uses Microsoft's uncompressed pulse code modulation format which supports sampling as low as 8 KHz, 8 bit mono to 48 KHz, 16 bit stereo. The VGMPF will not store the ripped soundtrack of games that use wave because the ratio is 1-to-1 (and because they take up too much space). The OGG recording will sound nearly identical, so the wave format is not needed.
