Safari doesn't know how to play mime type wav OS10.4.11 safari 3.0.4

Tried to use ebay's feature to play the audio for the distorted security code number I see in a box.
Naturally the Mac fails to know how to read the mine type wav file format.
I am sure I need a helper application plugin to interpret the wavfile format.
I am sure I will need help to find out where to install said plugin and how to install the plugin.

iMac 20 flat panel, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Do you have the free plug-in Filp4Mac installed in your machine? If not, do so. It converts WMV files to Quicktime format.

If not applicable, please post a URL pointing to the WMV file.

thanks

He was asking about a .wav, not a WMV, file.

I had the same problem trying to listen to a .wav file yesterday.

I have Flip4Mac; the file "played" but no sound was produced.

I gave up and used Firefox, which played it perfectly.
