wma isn't such a bad format and there are tools about to convert it to mp3 for burning purposes (including winamp2 plugins if the files play there and totalrecorder as a last resort).

I believe Winamp wimped out and disables all output and DSP plugins when MS audio formats are playing. Maybe an older version would work?

Totalrecorder is clearly labeled as a virtual device, and a player can refuse to play through it if it wants.
