A couple of things to note about WMA support:

DRM protected WMA files aren't supported.

WMA Lossless files aren't supported either, and in tonight's release the previously-working support for WMA Lossless transcoding will be broken. This is expected to be fixed once we can distinguish the lossless files and re-enable transcoding.

Firmware 19 (available with the next SlimServer nightly build) contains support for native decoding of WMA files on Squeezebox2 hardware. Playback of WMA files is now possible on all platforms (not just Windows) without server-side transcoding. This build does not yet contain support for WMA radio streams using the mms: protocol.

Please give this firmware version a try when you get a chance. If you have WMA files, run through them and report any playback issues. There were many firmware changes made to accomodate the WMA decoder, so please test playback of other formats as well.

Enjoy!
