Gregory's proposal to use Ogg/FLAC is not helpfull. This is not the format that is used to analyse pronunciation files.
Looking at Wikipedia, there don't seem to be any patent issues with WAV. However, the format is typically used without compression, wheres Ogg FLAC would be lossless compression. Conversion between the two is trivial for anyone who works with audio, so in light of the fact that we're talking about thousands of pronunciation files, it seems reasonable to give preference to FLAC.
