Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) - still no support for WMA Lossless?

Posted by Christine Tham (R) on November 4, 2009 at 21:33:07

Just installed a few days ago.

Seems to have fixed most of the bugs from 9.04, so I don't need to compile my own kernel, alsa etc. anymore. Yay!

However, still no joy getting anything to recognise WMA Lossless. rhythmbox, totem, mplayer can't find a suitable plugin (yes, I have the relevant packages from Medibuntu already installed) and Amarok recognises the files but plays them "silently."

If anyone can offer some help will be much appreciated.

I do have Windows Media Player installed (via Crossover) so I can always use that as a last resort.

I also have XP running under KVM (for the pesky Windows only apps) - wow, the new virtio drivers are *fast* virtual XP run almost as fast as native - but again prefer not to play music over a virtual OS.
