Actually, I don' t mind having a .wav at all. I've got plenty of memory 
and disk space, and I delete the audio files when I'm done with them. I 
rarely get a file longer than 1 hour, so we're not talking about a 
resource limitation. Plus I don't need to send the audio file anywhere. 
I just e-mail the transcript back to the folks who provide the audio 
file, which I get with ftp.
