A program I am running calls a .wav during its execution.  The program
that calls the .wav file is encrypted.  How do i detect when this .wav
file is called and how can i use this to call another program?

You can create a program that uses some API calls like GetWindow to
get the handle of the program, and GetMessage to get events from the
program defined by GetWindow... determine which even is calling the
wav file and when that event is called run your program

if you need more help...
