I've downloaded the "Allegro" example and played with xine, vlc and 
mplayer without any problem. The video "niceday.wmv" makes a little bit 
problems mplayer has no video when playing niceday.wmv (Video: no 
video), xine and vlc only play I-frames ([wmv3 @ 0xfd42f0]Old WMV3 
version detected, only I-frames will be decoded) but Sound is ok in any 
case.

What output do you get, when you try to play one of this two files from 
a konsole window ("xine niceday.wmv" or "vlc  niceday.wmv" or "mplayer  
niceday.wmv")?
