That's because xmms is not installed on your system or is not in your PATH.

xmms-wma is a WMA plugin for xmms to allow it to play WMA files.

Re-open streamtuner. Edit > Preference > Applications
Change "xmms %q" -> "mplayer %q" for first and third option or,
whatever media player you use for e.g - "amarok %q". xmms is already
obsoleted so avoid it. If you really want to run xmms though, you are
free to use source tarballs (.tar.gz ones directly from xmms's website).

HTH!
