 Yup, mplayer with binary codec is even worst than ffmpeg's decoder (less
 data is decoded):

 ffmpeg -i mplayer.wav/ffmpeg.wav/freac.wav -f s16le
 mplayer.pcm/ffmpeg.pcm/freac.pcm

 mplayer.pcm - 5275648 bytes
 ffmpeg.pcm - 5283840 bytes
 freac.pcm - 5294592 bytes

 so to reproduce this one would need to run "fre:ac" program under windows
 and decode
 test.wma to freac_win.wav then next:

 ffmpeg -i freac_win.wav -f s16le freac_win.pcm

 and freac_win.pcm will match:

 ffmpeg -i input.wav -f s16le input.pcm

 "input.wav" is the file I used to encode test.wma
