I'm also trying to play a wav with the RCX, and I have found this information. The pages explain how to play a tone and a PCM wave with 1 bit speaker, like the famous PC-speaker, it's great. (2 URLs) The problem here is to find the time of full (...) (24 years ago, 5-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I'll do you one better.
