XBMC for windows does not use mplayer.
ffmpeg is probably missing an opensource decoder for it.

I am new to XBMC for Windows.
I am using XBMC (some years) now on the XBOX and do not have problems with playback of WMA lossless audio files.
When I try the same file within XBMC on windows (build august 23) playback does not start.
Using a WMA 192 KB/s does work
Any idea if this is not supported or do I need some configuration?
