I'd like to know how i can run .wma archives in my xine video player.
My xine version is 0.99.1 (included in knoppix 3.4)
I've looked for codecs topics but i have found nothing.
I'm new at linux world and I don't know if exists another way of run that kind of extensions.
Thanks

I don't know if this will get you exactly what you are looking for however, these steps will enable Debian to download & install media codecs & programs.
According to http://debian.video.free.fr/
As root user, open up the /etc/apt/sources.list file in a text editor.
Add the following three lines to the bottom.
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ stable main
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ testing main
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main
Then run the command apt-get update to refresh the package repository. Use aptitude, synaptic, or kpackage to install the programs & codecs.
I hope this helps.

add those lines, then run 'apt-get update' to update your package lists, then you can install apps. For an overview of installing apps, see: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14977

Now that you have updated your sources.list with the above mentioned repositories do the following.
apt-get update
apt-get install w32codecs
Then everything should work. I would go ahead and install mplayer as well since it's a very nice media player. Morover you can download some nice frontends to mplayer. I like kplayer.

I know this is a year late, but I just tried apt-get update and then apt-get install w32codecs but I keep getting errors.
I added the ...marillat... lines to /etc/apt/sources.list and they seem to be my problem. How do I dig into ...marillat... to find the correct path?
root@xbox:/home/box# apt-get install w32codecs
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done

Thank you.
Here's what I found on the nerim web site that will work (as of today!):
Add to the above information for i386 and sparc packages, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list
Substitute (sarge) for (stable)
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main
Substitute (etch) for (testing)
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ etch main
Substitute (sid) for (unstable)
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main
The codecs are downloading as I speak! This is cool!

There is a little plug in for XMMS. XMMS-WMA I'm using 1.03.
It's easy to find on the web.
You don't even need to "install" it. I downloaded it, unpacked it. Then dragged the plugin to the proper XMMS folder:
/usr/lib/xmms/Input
When XMMS starts, just enable it.
