Well, I was browsing the forum for a plugin to play DRM protected files. I found this thread, but it wasn't really helpful.
Now, I don't do plugins - but would it be possible to make a plugin to allow foobar2000 to play DRM protected *.WMA files? I find it really annoying, having to boot up WMP every time I have to listen to that stuff.

In theory you could use foo_wma, once linked with a special library (DRM stublib, provided by MS) to access proteced content. It works. However :
- You need too enter in a special license agreement and delivery process for the stublib
- Some modifications would be required in the core to comply with the terms of such agreement

No
is the answer to your question.
Technically possible, yes.
Possible to comply with the various licensing restrictions on the DRM, probably not.

Is it a technical limitation or a legal limitation that is preventing such a thing happening?
Read what Otto says 
. Technically yes, legally no.
Damnit.

There might be legal problems.
It's simple. No one wants wma, no one needs wma.
The one and only perfect player for wma files is http://eraser.sourceforge.net/
