I didn't do any actual testing - all I gave was advice in a general way.
I think the issue abotu WMA and WMA pro is about the MIME type for the
stream and IIRC PlayWMA did not setup any MIME support for WMA pro so if
disabled natively LMS would not be able to play the stream.

All that matters - no need to put any more effort in until it breaks
again.

Screen scraping is not the easiest to maintain and NPR have threated to
kill off the "thin" interface/WMA support a few times to be replaced
with Flash but I think then Flash's demise etc have messed up the
plans.

I have to move the plugin from google "code" to github/sourceforge so I
may look at the plugin but it would be minimal change since I don't use
it much in recent years.
