We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Windows Media Audio", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Multistandard module enables a radio first from Frontier Silicon, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Blik Radiostation is the first digital radio on the market to provide plug-and-play reception of both DAB and DAB+ broadcasts". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Middleware supports WMA 10 Professional M0 profile from Renesas Technology Europe: "Decode middleware aids the development of applications for mobile phone handsets employing the SH-Mobile application processor".
 
In February 2007, we covered the news from Frontier Silicon concerning its Venice 6 - take a look at Module combines four receivers in one which says: "Receiver module is the first to integrate a Wi-Fi, DAB and FM front-end together with an onboard Wi-Fi antenna".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Frontier Silicon, Baseband receiver SoC targets Wi-Fi radios, as well as Chipset is smart option for handset multimedia from Agere Systems, and Chipsets support latest Windows Media Audio from Agere Systems.
