Ah, I would have loved to see that. Never got to, even though I was a Windows Media MVP, I was NDA'd to the Moon, and I was the main tech guy in exec level meetings at Microsoft about Windows Media and the company I was working for was probably the biggest user of WMA in the world.

I wonder if the decoder source is in the Windows source code leaks? I guess Windows Media Player source will be in there. That'd be worth a look for me to see how utterly horrible it actually was.
