I can play some .wma files with wmp10 on current wine.  Try it yourself:
  wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
  sh winetricks wmp10
Then add each .wma file individually to the library (they won't show up
until you flick away to video and back).

.wmv plays, too, but the audio and video isn't in sync.  (Maarten, got any
magic up your sleeve for that?)
