Not sure if this is a bug. Never had any sound issues with VLC. Today i have tried to watch video samples at
http://www.sysinternals.com/videos.html and i get no sound. Media Player Classic (without any codecs installed, and this is only wmv9+wma9) is playing sound ok. I have other wmv9+wma9 files which plays ok with VLC.

UPD: with current version i can watch those videos with sound, but still cant move to some place of the video. It shows, but sound dissapears. Cant find whether those videos are still available.
P.S. i have also changed the OS to WinXP SP2 (was Win2000 SP4)

You could google those filenames and hopefully you can find some alternative download links.

What WMA codec is it? Press "Ctrl+I" and click on "Advanced information".
You could also try using:
To start VLC with it open e.g. "Start >> Run..." and enter "cmd".
In the commandline enter, assuming VLC is installed in the default location:
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe --codec dmo FILE
Where FILE is the location of the *.wmv file (e.g. "C:\Temp\Test.wmv").
Cheers, Arite.

Well the audio does playback fine in both 0.8.6e and 0.9.0-git (20080402-003), however as you said seeking loses the audio. The message output is as follows after seeking:
Code: Select all
dmo debug: ProcessInput(): not accepting
dmo debug: ProcessOutput(): failed
It then loops continuously.
The only suggestion I have is quickly transcoding to another format. For example with your sample the sout string (generated using mostly default settings in the "Steam output" window):
Code: Select all
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst="C:\Temp\OUT.mp4"}}
Worked fine and the audio was retained when seeking.
Cheers, Arite.
