There's no chance of WMA audio support in the near future because this <BR>
format is propietary and Microsoft didn't release any specifications for <BR>
it.<BR>

There is a WMA extension available for Mac OS 9 here: <http://appleguru.home.attbi.com/wmaaudio.sit.hqx>.<BR>
Simply drop this in your Classic System Folder’s Extensions folder, and then get DivX Doctor 2.1 here: <http://doctor.3ivx.com/download.html>. Before opening DivX Doctor 2.1, Get Info on it and check the box “Open in the Classic Environment”. Then simply open DivX Doctor 2.1 and choose to doctor your DivX movie with WMA audio. The resulting QuickTime movie will play in Mac OS X without a hitch. Oh, and don’t forget to uncheck the “Open in the Classic Environment” box when your done, as DivX Doctor otherwise works just fine in Mac OS X.<BR>
Hope this helped!<BR>
