Looks like the real issue is that these are 24-bit PCM.

To get 24-bit wav pcm to play natively in firefox, you can re-use some of the js code in http://www.grantgalitz.org/wav_player/ to decode it in js directly, then use the mozilla audio data api to play it back without plugins (Which another lib in that page does).
