Play WMA/WMV using DirectShow

I am trying with a simple directshow application (using 'renderFile'
method to render WMA/WMV file) on Windows Mobile 5.0 for smartphone.
The renderFile method is returning an error code of 0x80040218L which
means that "VFW_E_CANNOT_RENDER" "No combination of filters could be
found to render the stream".

Why am I getting this? Since WMA/WMV is a standard file I thought it
must be supported by the SDK. and one more observation is that I tried
to load a WMA/WMV file from Pc to smartphone and played it using media
player and that is playing fine. What does this mean?

Any Suggestion would be appreciated.
