Fujitsu Fi-6670 Wia Driver. The remaining problems with WMP 11 or WMF 11 is that VLC does not support WMAP audio of which 90% of the videos that uses WMV3 or WVC1 also use WMAP multi-channel audio which is now completely unsupported even if you use the --codec dmo switch. The new use of WMV and WMA under ffmpeg is very slow to activate under 0.8.6 and you may miss anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds of the start of any video. This assumes the use of WMF 9 for WMAP audio which is now obsolete.
