Yes, WAV files work just like TAP's. Use 'Insert tape' from pop-up menu and select the desired WAV ;).

With standard tapes routines, execution address will always equal the file start address in memory (sadly).

You can either:
- use a program like Load Vader, Deblock, Muticopy... They will display the start address
- on ROM 1.1, check $2A9-$2AA bytes for start address ($5F-$60 on ROM 1.0)
- use the built-in Oricutron monitor to see where the file was loaded in memory (a bit painful ;) )
- make a TAP file and hex edit to watch the start address in the header

Beware of multipart programs inside a single TAP file, pick the right part you're looking for!
