It probably means that the "WAV" file is not really a WAV file. Just because it is called "something.wav" does not mean that it is actually in WAV format. Tools such as SUPER (by erightsoft) or QuickTime (by Apple) can analyse media files and tell you exactly what format the file...

Is there any way to use Sound Activated Recording (or an equivalent feature) so that it will start recording when it detects audio coming into the microphone, but have it keep recording until I manually stop it, even when there is silence?
