I grepped over all files for "wmv", and saw that it's in codecs.conf. 
Of course I didn't read the "status: crashing" line, that would have been
to intelligent. 

But honestly: There are millions of clever places where to put 
the information that a codec is not working. But  codecs.conf 
is surely non of it. I thought it would be "supported" codecs, 
not "unsupported". 

And since you're reading from codecs.conf anyway, why not check
that the loaded codec is marked running at all? Crashing with SIGFPE 
is such an ugly way for a program to die.
