    You require extraction wav from zip to the temporary directory and to play, then remove this file.

    You can't play a .wav file while it is in a .zip file because when you zip a file, it converts the file to an entirely different code, that's how it compresses the file. It replaces strings of repeating characters with a single variable that it can identify. Therefore, when you have a .zip file, your .wav file is quite literally not there anymore. It is now a bunch of variables that only WinZip (or some other such program) can recognize. In order to play the .wav file, you must first unzip the .zip file, and THEN you can play the .wav file, but that's the only way.
