xmms wma input plug-in

I think I said everything in the topic's title...:) Homepage: http://mcmcc.bat.ru/xmms-wma/
I hope this hasn't been implemented to Archlinux yet. I know that linux users (like me) hate wma, but this format exists:( Yes, I know that wma is playable by mplayer and transcodable by ffmpeg, but the most popular audio player is XMMS under linux.
To tell the truth I couldn't get it to work under Arch 0.5 (segfault...), but under 0.7 beta it works. But I've tryed its (now) not latest version (1.0.3).

Awesome.  Was looking around for plugins and found this one.  Installs quickly, no errors, and am playing .wma files as I write this.

Re: xmms wma input plug-in

thx for the plugin.
Maybe somebody wants this script for transform
wma->mp3

#!/bin/bash

current_directory=$( pwd )

#remove spaces
for i in *.wma; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr ' ' '_'`; done

#remove uppercase
for i in *.[Ww][Mm][Aa]; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`; done

#Rip with Mplayer / encode with LAME
for i in *.wma ; do mplayer -vo null -vc dummy -af resample=44100 -ao pcm -waveheader

#convert file names
for i in *.wma; do mv "$i" "`basename "$i" .wma`.mp3"; done

rm audiodump.wav

i found it in the net, but i dont remember where xD.undefined

Re: xmms wma input plug-in

Actually, you can play wma file in XMMS with the xmms-mplayer plugin.

However, from the screen shots on  http://mcmcc.bat.ru/xmms-wma/ , xmms-wma gives more specific file info.
