I think you can stream a standard file by opening it directly from Media Palyer, by going Tools->Open URL. However, I don't know of any sites that have WMV or WMA non-streamed downloads, so I haven't tired. You're going to need a third party webbrowser to get the link's URL, as PIE doesn't let you copy a url from a link using the menu. The free FTX browser can do this.
