When I open a sound file, like www.nch.com.au/acm/8kadpcm.wav, it's downloaded, not played. Please help me!

Firefox can't decode this specific WAV file (MONO; 8000 Hz; 16 bit/sample) if I test this.

Web Console: 

Media resource http://www.nch.com.au/acm/8kadpcm.wav could not be decoded.  data:<audio%20src="http://www.nch.com.au/acm/8kadpcm.wav"%20controls>
Media resource http://www.nch.com.au/acm/8kadpcm.wav could not be decoded, error: Error Code: NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_METADATA_ERR (0x806e0006)
