There are a bunch of diferent ADPCM formats, I dont know which ones WAV files can contain have you tried loading it into something that used libsndfile, thats probably the best bet to decode it to something useful. WAV files dont have to be uncompressed, there are a few different lossy compression schemes that WAV can contain. - Steve
