Is there a way to play WMA/ASF/ASX with XMMS?

What is WMA?

The Official #Mp3Cable Homepage
WMA(Windows Media Audio) is a file format developed by Microsoft that is similar to MP3s. It is rumored to have a smaller & better sound quality file than MP3. However, the file size will only be smaller if encoding is done below 96kbps. Anything above 96kbps will be an overkill for WMA. The average file size of WMA encoded at 96kbps is around 40-60% smaller than an MP3. We have tested lots of WMA files & found that WMA have lower bass quality & higher treble pitch.

Donate
The best way is to simply have fun! Follow your child's lead by letting him or her choose the game or activity. Don't give too many instructions or commands. Praise good play behavior and give positive consequences (hugs, kisses, longer playtime) when your child cooperates and shares. If you need to correct your child's behavior, redirect his or her attention to something more appropriate. See similar questions...
