Kaffeine can't play a .wmv file?

I tried to play a standard Microsoft Media .wmv file that plays in windows
fine, with Kaffeine, and it tells me :
"No plugin found to handle this resource:
(/tmp/kde-jtw188/kontactrN6tMb.5/TheBlackHole.wmv)"

I am trying to find the plugin but am clueless as to how to do it.  I am
running Suse 11.0 Linux and I know that it sometimes isn't plugin friendly.  
My 90 days of support are over and I can't get help there. I have been
reading and trying to figure out how all this works so I can get off windows
completely, but am stumped.

suse's version of xine-lib lacks codecs - see http://en.opensuse.org/XINE
