No - the answer is more nuanced.  Squeezelite (all version not just PCP)
cannot play YOUR WMA files.  
Up to now, Squeezelite has been able to play all types of WMA files of
LMS users.
There is something in your WMA files that seem to break the WMA
specification as posted by MS but it can be tolerated.

There are applications such as mplayer and VLC which use the ffmpeg
libraries and can play your files. Squeezlite also uses the ffmpeg
libraries but cannot handle your WMA files. So the issue is probably
squeezelite is not using the ffmpeg libraries "properly" and some sort
of result from libraries is producing the error message and squeezelite
is breaking the decode process. 

The long term solution would be an update to Squeezeliute to handle your
WMA files in the way VLC and other users of ffmpeg libraries.

Short term answer might be to get a copy of ffmpeg on your LMS system to
transcode WMA (i.e. modify PlayWMA plugin to use ffmpeg)  and not have
Squeezelite attempt the decode.
