This is wrong.  From the SB2 onward WMA is supported natively in the
player and does not need any WMA supportin perl or  wmacodecs.

If you have disable "native" WMA or you are using a SliMP3, SB1 or
SOftsqueeze then you need an app such as mplayer or ffmpeg to transcode.
What these apps require is independent of SBS and they do not need
Perl.
