Even 32bit systems use the non-free 3rd party codecs/modules, the AMD64 community can do the same.
Create a work-around for the time being till someone solves this propriety 32bit codec problem- which hasnt been solved in the past few years with regards to wmv files at least. On my own system I use a 32bit static mencoder binary to re-encode rm and wmv files to mpeg4 avi files. It takes 2 minutes to re-encode. The proposed 32bit static mplayer binary is an even better solution. Please reconsider it. I'm an accountant not a programmer, I do not want to become a package maintainer.
