Limits
Starting point: ASF - ASF is Microsoft's streaming container that usually wraps WMV and WMA. Live-archive headers can confuse players; remuxing usually repairs them. Decoding paths for early Real codecs are scarce; try remuxing first. Encode RM (RV10 / AC-3) from ASF at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
