Which part of "Fedora does not support proprietary formats" do you not
understand? If you want .wav support, you need to add codecs from a
non-Fedora repo.
Are you kidding? WAV is a non-proprietary container format, which very
often contains just raw PCM data which can be passed to audio output
hardware directly. Some WAV files contain Microsoft ADPCM, compressed data
which need a special decoder, but sox/aplay/libsndfile (all in Fedora)
support this format.
