If you install the most recent version of xine-lib in portage (it is both unstable and masked as it is a pre-release version) and then unmask all the dependencies that requires you can get some wmv9 playback using xine. This is because FFmpeg has had initial VC-1 (a wmv9 superset) support added over summer. It is still pretty buggy though, I'm finding colours look weird in many videos, but this will be fixed over time. When people are mentioning earlier versions of xine will play some *.wmv files they are possible wmv7 or 8, or different files with an incorrect extension.
