hmm now I've noticed it comes from mms stream.
(which I still do not support in its mmst form - lack of time) - but
isn't the file actualy stored in a wrong way.

I doubt the 'padding' to 0x800 is the way how this file was created
in the server.  I assume that something is wrong with the software
which downloads the data.

Maybe the server sends 0x800 packets - but to store them into asf
you really have to respect max_packet size and throw away the
rest of the packet.

Or are you suggesting windows will play also this sample you have
put on hq server ?
