OGG vs WAV: Technical Overview
Why Convert OGG to WAV?
Editing and compatibility. Game audio, sound effects from free libraries (many are distributed as OGG), voice messages and audio from open-source tools often need to be edited in DAWs, loaded into samplers or used in video editors, many of which prefer or require WAV. Converting avoids re-encoding at every save.
WAV is also required for audio CDs, telephony systems, some game engines' import pipelines and speech-recognition tools. Converting OGG sound effects to WAV is common for game modding and sound design.

Why is the WAV so big?
WAV is uncompressed, about 10 MB per minute of CD-quality stereo.
