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


Hope it works for you as well.

Markus
