[ubuntu-art] wav instead of ogg

[Thomas L.Gjeseth]

Yes, I fully agree on that a forum should be set up, with categories for "wallpapers", "GTK-themes" etc. with "submissions" in each, and discussions on each submission, as well as relevant debates in general categories. 

Btw, when I get some time I'll try to make a suggestion for a wallpaper, just need to get some "school-work" done etc. 

Cheers,
- Thomas L.G
