I'm mostly up-to-date with testing and I remember that some sound
modules were recently updated. For the most part sound is still working
fine but for some formats it's not. With m4a files and some wmv files
all I get is sporadic static. mp3 and flv and avi files are all fine.

Has anyone else experienced this? What module could be the culprit?

w32codecs

There are no bug reports filed against that package. I downgraded to the
prvious version but it didn't make any difference.

My *major* problem at the moment is with wma files. For several years
I've been recording meetings with my Olympus voice recorder. It creates
wma files. Up until last week I've been able to use ffmpeg to convert
them to mp3 so I could further process them in audacity. Now all I get
is static.

What could have gone wrong? What else can I use to convert from wma to mp3?

The bug has been fixed. The new packages are currently in unstable.
