Why is it that, when I insert an audio disk, I see it as an audio disk on my desktop, but when I click it, GNOME shows the .wav files that are present. No application is suggested, even under "Open", to play the damned music.
Which part of "Fedora does not support proprietary formats" do you not understand? If you want .wav support, you need to add codecs from a non-Fedora repo.
Are you kidding? WAV is a non-proprietary container format, which very often contains just raw PCM data which can be passed to audio output hardware directly. Some WAV files contain Microsoft ADPCM, compressed data which need a special decoder, but sox/aplay/libsndfile (all in Fedora) support this format.
