mpg321 can write to a wav file, but that does not mean it can take a wav as input. I'm guessing that the wav output is available because a decompressed mp3 is essentially the same as a wav, so writing the decompressed data to a file is a trivial matter. Maybe adding the code to play a wav directly was more than the developers wanted to bother with?
sox is a pretty feature-rich application designed to play/modify/convert multiple formats, so I guess that would mean a relatively large size for a commandline program. If you want a tiny program that only plays wav files, I'd recommend wavplay, or bplay as curaga suggested.
