Since I updated xine about two months ago, it has not played WMV
files. I get an occasional bits of an image, but mostly just stripes
of varying colors, often green or pastels, also often followed by a
jump to the next file in the playlist.
Here are errors reported to STDERROR:

When I try to play a WMV, the CPU goes through the roof and trying to
skip to the next file or enter any other command is often delayed vor
many seconds.

Going back to the last 1.1 version works as do other media players
including vlc, totem, and mplayer.

Any idea what happened? Any fix available? I'll admit that I waited
assuming that someone else would report the problem.

System is 9-Stable, updated about once a month and last updated on
April 28. Running amd64 on a Sandybridge CPU. Problem is there with
Intel-KMS or VESA video driver.

Please keep me in the CC as I am not currently subscribed to the list.
Thanks!
