[Bug 41105] Re: [dapper] totem-xine and xine can't play some .asf files correctly

[Sitsofe Wheeler]

With respect to 1) I am not aware that any of the major video playing
libraries (gstreamer, xine, mplayer, videolan) have native free WMV9
playback because it has yet to be implemented in ffmpeg. Having said
that, there is native playback of WMV9 in Linspire which I believe is
licenced from MS (see http://lwn.net/Articles/111588/ ). You may also be
able to buy WMV gstreamer libraries from Fluendo for (see
http://www.fluendo.com/press/releases/PR-2005-01.html ). If you have the
windows DLLs it should be possible to get all 4 of the major video
playing systems to watch WMV9 but gstreamer's Win32 library might not
have been updated for the 0.10 series.
