Um... wav files are sound. And uncompressed sound at that. So, you would basically have a lot of gunfire and the occasional radio chatter, in an absolutely huge file. There are two ways I can think to do this... First is to record a video in FRAPS of the demo, then use VirtualDUB to extract the audio into an uncompressed .wav. Second would be to use a cable to connect the speaker port on your comp to the mic port and record using any recording program.
Of course the question of why you want a .wav of a demo still remains...
Get a program that records from standard Wave Out load up half-life playdemo <demoname>
a demo is not a media file, its just a text file with scripted actions in it to recreate what happened during the game. It is not a media file, thus you can't simply 'convert' it to a media type... Essentially what you're asking to do is like wanting to convert a Word document into pancakes.

Okay.
Use <a href='http://www.google.ca/search?q=fraps' target='_blank'>Fraps</a> and it can record what's on your screen. So when you play the demo, hit record in <a href='http://www.google.ca/search?q=fraps' target='_blank'>fraps</a>. That gets you a video. Compress it as you see fit with <a href='http://www.google.ca/search?q=xvid' target='_blank'>XviD</a>, <a href='http://www.google.ca/search?q=divx' target='_blank'>DivX</a> or something else, using <a href='http://www.google.ca/search?q=virtualdub' target='_blank'>virtualdub</a>
