Mmm, that sounds very very wrong. fluendo is a kludgey royalty-free codec library, and it's not officially used by MOC. The official way that MOC supports WMA is with the ffmpeg library, which Puppy already contains ... but whatever version of MOC you are using would need to have been explicitly compiled with ffmpeg support, and this would result in an ffmpeg plugin being created for MOC. See -

But since you seem to be interested in a minimalist audio player application,
I suggest xhippo (gui) + lamip (backend) -
"xhippo + lamip audio player"

As well as the standard mp3 and wav support, lamip also supports WMA, and even m4a/AAC.

Several forum members have been happily using this application with very low-powered computers such as the 200MHz eBox-2300.
