WMA2 Audio Codec is not supported by gstreamer plugins or ffmpeg. Windows Media Audio V2 (WMA2) is a perceptual audio codec that is usually packaged in ASF files.

Codec ID: WMA v2 (ID 0x161)

There is no codec pack or application that is able to view these files.
Example Content:
Bloomberg TV via "Launch Video Player"
http://www.bloomberg.com/tvradio/tv/index.html
http://bloomberg.com/avp/avp.htm?clipSRC=LiveBTV

Current Result:
Plays video but audio is muted

Expected result:
Plays both audio and video in sync, with no delay.

This bug is a request to include the WMA2/WMAS audio codecs to the gstreamer plugin packs. If there are any issues with doing this please comment on this bug.
