find . -type f -iname '*.wav' -exec command "{}" "{}".foo \;

   is the syntax, IIRC.   Note the \  that exists to escape the
semicolon, therefore telling find to end processing.

find . -type f -iname '*.wav' |while read LIST; do command "${LIST}"
"${LIST/old/new}" ; done

is another possibility.    Adding limiters to "find" can prevent it from
recursing too deeply.
