Well, in theory, it should be possible to play WMA by "remote controling" WMP. There's an interface primarily thought as PIE plug-in which can somehow be used for this. AFAIK, e.g. TCPMP utilizises this. But I didn't find good documentation neither for this nor for the GSPlayer plug-in interface (whereby the latter shouldn't be a big problem, rather quite some work...).

I'm also not sure if there'd be any license fees, at least for DRM free files. But probably I'd need some support, and that surely wouldn't be for free. And if even experts like the programmers of FMod gave in after a while, I'm not sure whether I'd be able to do it. I'm just using the Open Source stuff from GSPlayer (file/stream handling, effects), Underbit (MAD for MP3/MP2 decoding), and libovd for Ogg Vorbis... (With some minor modifications, like relative volume, ID3v2 support, or variable plug-in path...)
