There is an old-fashioned ALUT that is deprecated (this one has the 
alutLoadWavFile() function).  However, there is a newer ALUT (called 
"freealut") that is also available on the downloads page at 
http://www.openal.org.  This one has the alutCreateBufferFromFile() 
method, as well as several others.  It is not deprecated, and should 
load your .wav files just fine.  Check the freealut specs for details on 
how to use it.
