The main issue with the audio in the WMV files is that it is encoded using the
MP3 codec for the audio, which isn't shipped as part of most distros for
patent reasons. It is however included as standard in Windows which is why
it's suitable for use in the WMV format. The FAQ on the website should help,
although the pages Alan recommended are even better:

It's worth noting that Feisty (7.04) makes it much easier to install
proprietary codecs on Ubuntu, if that's your bag.
