It looks like those come from realplayer. They are .kdelnk files, not 
named .desktop and somehow the filetypes configuration doesn't manage to 
overwrite them (it only manages .desktop files). Then you end up with
x-pn-wav.kdelnk and x-pn-wav.desktop. kbuildsycoca seems unable to merge 
those two in the sycoca file. I'm not sure if it should, or if the 
filetypes module should try harder to modify the .kdelnk file.

Waldo?

Ask Real Networks about that :) KDE ships just one mimetype for wav.
