I'm using the Xubuntu Edgy 6.10 release, VLC 0.8.6 and ffmpeg


rowol@dali:~$ ffmpeg -version

When I try to play a WMA file, the player runs but there's no sound. If I run with the -vvvv option, I see this:

rowol@dali:~$ vlc -vvvv /dv/mp3/The\ Knack\ -\ Good\ Girls\ Don\'t.wma
VLC media player 0.8.6 Janus

Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.....

Thanks
