3.Uncheck the Always ask me before handling files of this type
4.Click on the Audio link again (.wav type)
Actual Results:  
Keeps showing the "what to do with this file" dialog

Expected Results:  
It should remember the setting and open and play the .wav file

Can you provide an example link for such an audio file ?

This looks like an invalid report

indeed, but it may be a duplicate of the bug that the dialog shows & saves a
wrong mime type (bug 216294)

marking invalid.

Please try this again. Click on an audio link -> 
http://french.about.com/library/media/wavs/jaiunprobleme.wav A dialog opens 
saying Opening jaiunprobleme.wav The file "jaiunprobleme.wav is of type 
audio/wav (wave sound), Mozilla does not know how to handle this file type. 
This file is located at http://french.about.com/library/media/wavs/
What should I do with this file? 
I choose Open it with the defualt application(soundrec) 
AND then because I don't want it to bug me again I uncheck the "Always show 
this dialog before handling files of this type" unfortunately this is not the 
case because next time I click on an audio link it brings up the same dialog 
box and does not remeber the setting.

Reporter: Have you read comment #5 ?
Please try Mozilla 1.5RC2 or a later build. 1.4 is to old to report bugs and
this should be fixed (you know , read comment #5)

yeah, bug 216294 causes that behaviour. fixed only on trunk (in another bug),
not on the 1.4 branch.
