Use vlc 0.8.6-test2a that can read it.

why reinvent the wheel ?
the VLC team implemented the relatively new version of the wmv codec, and that has probably been a more complicated job than you imagine. :)

alternatively you might want to get the very latest mplayer, though. it supports the latest wmv formats as well, and it shouldn't be much of a difference to you if all you want to do is watching movies. :)
