WAV? Do you mean PCM?

In fact, there are several choices for the uncompressed internal
audio representation in a converter application. For example, AIFF
(apple), BWF (Euro broadcast) or AU (Sun) or whatever the designer
wishes.

Here is a recent posting by an NCH Switch developer talking about
WAVEPAD:

"WavePad automatically converts any audio file you open to our own
internal uncompressed audio format, so doing this conversion yourself
is not needed. If you know you are going to work on a file again you
should save it in an uncompressed (lossless) format"

Just so you don't miss it I will point out, "WavePad automatically
converts any audio file you open to our own internal uncompressed
audio format".

This is a WAV editor but it does not work on WAV internally.

Similarly a transcoder/converter can use its own internal
uncompressed format.
