Digging about it seems that Clementine requires gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg - 
which is available for trusty in a PPA

|sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

|I just checked that in |Utopic - have to change the sources to trusty, 
but clementine does in fact now play wma for me now.

I'd not noticed Clemetine not playing wma - I had noticed it not playing 
mpc's though ...
