This isn't a matter of browser makers being intransigent and unable to agree on a single audio standard, but rather a legal and financial issue involving patent rights and royalties. The OGG format, which is not restricted by software patents, aims to solve this problem once and for all. However, at the time of writing, neither Opera nor Safari support OGG. There are a lot more WAV and MP3 files available than there are files in the OGG format, so no doubt browser manufacturers have taken this into consideration. MP3 as the de facto standard is a great solution.
