Sorry, there was no information in the thread or ticket to deduce that
this had to to with libavcodec.

So, to sum it up, everything has been working fine until libavcodec at
some point was updated with something which broke playback for WMV?
And based on Rafaẽl's discovery, it is fair to assume that libavcodec
now uses something inside extradata despite the video is not
palettesied?

Based on that assumption I have included a patch which I have tested
and plays all video samples in tickets #4017, #5952 and #9546 on
Linux.
