Silverlight provides a class called MediaElement which can be used to play audio or video files.

Silverlight MediaElement supports playing video/audio files in MP3 and WMV formats. The current version of Silverlight does not support .WAV files and .AVI files.

If you attempt to use .WAV or .AVI files with the MediaElement control, you will get the following error: Error: Unhandled Error in Silverlight 2 Application <Application Name>Code: 3001 Category: MediaError Message: AG_E_INVALID_FILE_FORMAT
