Perhaps the device is already being used by something else? Would be a
good idea to change the audio output default to ALSA in the package.
Try with "mplayer -ao alsa"

Same thing.

¿? "option x11-display does not exist" doesn't sound pretty. Probably
the problem is in your vlc config... but this problem should happen to
you with ANY video, not just WMV.
Delete/move the config from ~/.config/vlc.
