You still have Karmic installed, right? or have you upgraded to Lucid?

I have Lucid and have no problems with playing wma files. (There is an 
app to play wma files called xmms-plugin-wma but I do NOT have it 
installed and can still play wma.)

On my system the default app to play wma is Movie Player. What happens 
if you try and use it to play wma?
