Yeah, my assumption for this is because it uses the "stopsound" command, which for the Source engine only stops mp3's. To the best of my knowledge (which is very limited lol) there is no sound stopping command for wavs in Source.

But this shouldn't be a problem for anyone, as really you should be uploading any sounds longer than 5 seconds as MP3, WAVs are uncompressed and take a lot of bandwidth and space, but they load quicker into the engine, making WAV suitable for short clips, but MP3 the best choice for longer clips.
