On x86_64 machines, it is possible that mplayer will select ffmpeg for wmv decoding, so the output will be something like this:

Requested video codec family [wmvdmo] (vfm=dmo) not available.
Enable it at compilation.
Opening video decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg\'s libavcodec codec family
Selected video codec: [ffwmv3] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg WMV3/WMV9)

This means that there will be video, as well as audio. I didn\'t try other builds, but this is for recent ones, relative to today,  July, 2010. On Ubuntu, official repos, mplayer is heavily outdated, some ppa\'s will have a better solution, but it\'s best if you just grab the svn source and compile it yourself. No need for special arguments at ./config.

Install win32codecs and use MPlayer for this file, not xine.

Use 32 bit version of MPlayer. win32codecs cannot be used in x86_64
