A correction to my last, wma does function in most openSUSE-11.2 media players. One of my test files was a beach video, and the waves sounded like static :) My apologies for my global statement which was incorrect. I have now changed to different test file(s) [see links below]
More accurately, the problem to 11.2 now is: * .wma does not play in MPlayer in 11.2 (it works fine in 11.1). It only gives static for audio in 11.2. Only the video in a .wmv file plays in MPlayer in 11.2. * the video in a ".wmv" does not play in "vlc" in neither 11.2 nor 11.1 (but the .wma audio plays). Note both .wma/.wmv works in xine. Now that I have confused things with my earlier email, shall I repost to the list server with specific queries to the vlc and MPlayer packagers?
