Calum:
can you not install mplayer in OSX?
then use the win32 codec pack? mplayer is available as source code, and can be compiled with gcc, but i think you might need to be using X...

Why not just download the 'Microshit' one?  If you're boycotting Windows Media Player because you hate the spread of WMV/WMA files, then merely playing them in another player (that decodes them using Windows Media codecs anyway) doesn't really send any message to content providers.

And no, you can't use the win32 codecs because they're for x86, not PPC.  Whether or not mplayer for OS X can utilize the codecs from OS X's Windows Media player, I'm not sure.  Besides, there's no (last I heard) way to use mplayer as an embedded player in OS X, which locks you out of a bunch of content even if mplayer did handle WMV flawlessly in OS X.
