A WAV file is (generally) uncompressed audio; it's size cannot be 
reduced except through compression, which would need to be reversed in 
order to play back the file.

If you want to store recordings using less disk space, store in a 
compressed format like GSM, G.729 or something else supported in Asterisk.
