[nflug] windows media player files

[Robert Meyer]

I use the mplayer plugin and it works fine.  You probably have to install a
copy of the M$ dll files in /usr/lib/win32.  The mplayer site has information
on that.  This is the only way to get WMV files to play in any of the video
players.

Cheers!

Bob
