No, still fails with vanilla current svn. I test  with
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/WMA2/ffwma2_broken.wma and
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/WMA/Bangles%2001%20-%20Walk%20Like%
20An%20Egyptian.wma . I originally tested with some other files as well
(basically any wma I could find on mplayerhq), and they all failed;
however, I haven't tested each one of them with current svn.

Output:

$ ./ffplay_g ~/Desktop/ffwma2_broken.wma
Seek to 59% ( 0:02:06) of total duration ( 0:03:33)
[asf @ 0x8322160]seek failed
[asf @ 0x8322160]seek failed
/home/rbultje/Desktop/ffwma2_broken.wma: error while seeking
Seek to 24% ( 0:00:51) of total duration ( 0:03:33)
[asf @ 0x8322160]seek failed
[asf @ 0x8322160]seek failed
/home/rbultje/Desktop/ffwma2_broken.wma: error while seeking

It will sometimes jump to some unspecified position somewhere in the
file when trying to seek, but I don't think the position it seeks to has
anything to do with the position I requested. Just click the same
location 3 times, it will start playing different audio each time.

Cheers,
