You'll probably have to run a 32 bit chrooted mplayer to be able to play wmv files. If yoy compile mplayer from sources under a 64 bit environment it will arge that only 32 bit plataforms can make use of win32 libs (and you need them for playing wmv files). Now that a x64 edition of windows with a 64 bit media player and 64bit dll's has been released maybe we'll be able to compile mplayer against them without the need of a chroot.
