This is simply not true.

Indeed. Moreover, this is hardly libxine1's fault, but a dependent
package.

I couldn't care less about w32codecs, since I'm more interested in
improving ffmpeg's support for those files.

Thats probably right. I did a quick cross check with mplayer, and it can
somehow decode the video, but with many many artifacts. I have therefore
to conclude that support for this specific type of "J-type picture" is
not implement in the version we currently ship in Debian. I don't know
if this has already been fixed upstream, if you have time, please try to
find out (e.g. by compiling an fresh from svn copy of mplayer with
internal ffmpeg).

FFmpeg itself reports the file like this:

Seems stream 1 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 1000.00 
(1000/1) -> 12.50 (25/2)
Input #0, asf, from 'umbro.wmv':
  Duration: 00:00:38.9, start: 3.000000, bitrate: 92 kb/s
  Stream #0.0: Audio: wmav2, 22050 Hz, mono, 16 kb/s
  Stream #0.1: Video: wmv2, yuv420p, 320x240, 12.50 fps(r)

In any case, this is a feature request for a new codec in debian's
ffmpeg, and is to be treated as such.
