WMA support is provided by the libav plugin.
$ gst-inspect-1.0 | grep -i wma
typefindfunctions: video/x-ms-asf: asf, wm, wma, wmv
libav: avenc_wmav1: libav Windows Media Audio 1 encoder
libav: avenc_wmav2: libav Windows Media Audio 2 encoder
libav: avdec_wmalossless: libav Windows Media Audio Lossless decoder
libav: avdec_wmapro: libav Windows Media Audio 9 Professional decoder
libav: avdec_wmav1: libav Windows Media Audio 1 decoder
libav: avdec_wmav2: libav Windows Media Audio 2 decoder
libav: avdec_wmavoice: libav Windows Media Audio Voice decoder
If you go down the route of linking against ffmpeg or including a WMA decoder those
of us that package wine in distributions released in patent-friendly countries will
have to spend time striping out that support (if it is not a configure time option).
