Most any audio file will play in the browser via an HREF link. Just
link to the file. This has nothing to do with rails. It's basic HTML.
You don't even need html5.
Converting to mp3 would be a good idea for compatability and smart
downloads.

Hi..
i have a .wav file in my rails public folder.
i would like to play that file when i click play link in my
application.

Is there any way to play that file simply when click the play link
from
my rails application?
Your best bet is probably some kind of Flash player, that you feed the
URL to in the embed/object tag. At some point in the future, you'll be
able to play the file natively with HTML5, but that's not yet.
Oh, and you'll want to get some kind of audio compression going -
neither your users nor your host are going to like downloading
uncompressed .wav files...
