Well, you could always use *both*, if you have sufficient webspace.  I,
having RealAudio, greatly prefer that over *.wav files, since it's so
much faster to download, but not everyone can play RealAudio, so *.wav
is good, too.

Well, it was Waty=E1isa ([wA'tSaj'sa] - apostrophes indicate high pitch),
but it's now Watakass=ED ([wAtakA'S:i])

Yeah, I wavered between ['teo.nA:t] and ['teo.nAxt] until I learned that
<ht> meant /T/.
