I don't see a spanner icon here, but if I enter a 
mplayer -vo xv /some/wmv3.file.wmv

I still get this, and no video:
--------------------------
Requested video codec family [wmv9dmo] (vfm=dmo) not available.
Enable it at compilation.
Requested video codec family [wmvdmo] (vfm=dmo) not available.
Enable it at compilation.
Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x33564D57.
Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html!
----------------------------

After so many years, IIRC, of mplayer not being able to play this wmv3
stuff on powerpc,I don't believe mplayer will *ever* change in this
regard. Or not until I see it does .... :) ... I simply would like to
forget about mplayer and help fix vlc ...

The hardware here:
