Bug#486096: vlc 0.8.6.e-2.3 does not play wmv nor wma

[Markus Huber]

I suppose you have one or more of the following packages not from Debian but 
from debian.multimedia.org which is a third party repo:

ffmpeg libavcodec51 libavdevice52 libavformat52 libavutil49 libpostproc51 
libswscale

Please reinstall those packages from the Debian repos.

wmv files are playing here flawlessly using ffmpeg packaged from Debian Sid, 
so I do not regard this as bug at all:

---------------
$ apt-cache policy vlc ffmpeg
vlc:
  Installiert: 0.8.6.e-2.3+b1
  Kandidat: 0.8.6.e-2.3+b1
  Versions-Tabelle:

ffmpeg:
  Installiert: 0.svn20080206-8
