It's the other way around.   RIFF is a wrapper for other file formats,
which usually ends up being WAV.  WAV allows for different encoding
types, if that's what you mean, but the encoding-type-code 0x674F isn't
one of the universally recognized standards (0x0001 corresponds to the
ubiquitous PCM data encoding format).  With this particular file, it
seems that they have a standard WAV header at the beginning of the
file, and where the PCM data normally is they have an ogg.  'Tis quite
funky, really.

Peace,
