wma is audio, wmv is audio+video FWIW, I've had the best results
usin Mandrake rpms, and gettin the win32 and quicktime codecs
directly from mplayer's d/l page.
mplayer-gui-0.90-0.rc2.2mdk
mplayer-0.90-0.rc2.2mdk
mplayer-skins-1.3-4mdk
IME, mplayer works better from the CL than with the GUI. I haven't
found a .wm* that doesn't play well. ... and .mov's (even the newest
Sorenson v3), .mpeg's, .mpg's, .m2v's (really just .mpg's) for that
matter ;)
I got mplayerplug-in_v0.20.tar.gz from Freshmeat. So far with
limited testing, it works with mozilla, but not Konqueror for playin
steams off the Net (with DSL). Even Quicktime.
