Windows Media Audio (.wma) Codecs for streaming

[terrypye]

VLC supports a wide range of input codecs including wma and wmv formats and also supports several .wmv output codecs (WMV1, WMV2) for streaming, but no .wma codecs. Any chance of inclusion to include transcoding codec for wma output so a complete wmv/wma output stream can be produced from any input (particularly capture cards which tend to produce araw output for sound and cannot be transcoded currently to wma format.

Can't you put ADPCM or MP3 into ASF? That should be sufficient for streaming.

WMA Std is mostly just an imitation of the Ogg Vorbis beta anyway. It should be possible to modify oggenc to produce WMA, if you remove the additional stereo modes and change the window function. But it seems like kinda a pointless thing to do.

Yes I know, mp3 works fine for streaming, but some applications I use require somewhat strict adherance to wmv/wma in the stream. So whilst it may not seem sensible to some, to me it is important and adds real value to VLC.
