I've never bothered adding WMA support natively in the bridges b/c for me it's such a corner case. In UPnP, you can add wma as part of codecs if your player supports it in direct (transcode=none) mode. But for AirPlay or in transcode mode for Cast & UPnP bridges, I don't support WMA decoding, so LMS would have to do the job. I understand this is what the OP wants, but I have little to no sympathy for a closed source format that brings no benefit compared to all other open source options. The PlayWMA would be the only option LMS 7.7, 7.8 and 7.9 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2.
