Isn't one of the definitions of a WAV file is that
it can merely wrap
another file format? And usually that format is RIFF, but not
necessarily?
It's the other way around. RIFF is a wrapper for other file formats,
which usually ends up being WAV. WAV allows for different encoding
types, if that's what you mean, but the encoding-type-code 0x674F isn't
one of the universally recognized standards (0x0001 corresponds to the
ubiquitous PCM data encoding format). With this particular file, it
seems that they have a standard WAV header at the beginning of the
file, and where the PCM data normally is they have an ogg. 'Tis quite
funky, really.
