	First, is this an Intel x86 machine you are using (I don't know it
Mandrake is available on other platforms)? If not, then the x86 binary
codecs won't do you any good.

	Next idea, and I'm not entirely sure if this is necessary, but try
recompiling and reinstalling xine-lib now that the binary codecs are in
/usr/lib/win32.

	And good news: The next version of xine will include an open
source WMA decoder.

	Hope this helps...
