Suppose you have got the win32codec and you still experience that 
problem - like I did.

I've got a working solution from 
http://heliosj.iddings.us/wordpress/index.php.

Here is what I have done (it's exactly what is said on the mentioned 
site) and worked well - no more segfaults with .wmv in xine or mediaplayer:

1. Edit /etc/syconfig/prelink and change

*PRELINK_OPTS=-mR*
to
*PRELINK_OPTS="-mR –no-exec-shield”*

2. *touch /var/lib/misc/prelink.force*

3. */etc/cron.daily/prelink*
This relinks all the applications, and it takes quite a while.

4. *execstack -s /path/to/mplayer*
This turns off exec-shield for the mplayer binary.

Hope it works for you as well.
