You can download the sample from here: http://havefunsoft.com/fpc/wavetest.zip
The test has been modified to support .wav files.

Be warned, waveutils.pas is able to read uncompressed wav PCM files
only. If .wav file uses anykind of the compression it would impossible
to read it. Most of sound-processing applications allow to convert
.wav to uncompressed form.
