      I'm running Strawberry Version 1.0.4 (MSVC installer) under Windows 10, and attempting to play a WMA file results in an error dialogue: "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in."

      My understanding is that the Windows installers include Gstreamer and all plugins packaged - is there a setting I'm missing that I need to check for WMAs, or is this really a missing plug-in in the installer?

        ASF (WMA) audio is part of libav (ffmpeg) which isn't included in the MSVC release, try the MinGW release instead.

          MinGW did the job, thank you!
