I answered the question of media server. I have never looked at making asf files but I would never produce something for MS Media Player (wmv file type) as it does not use open protocols. My feeling is stick to Open Standards and any person can then view the files using the tool of their choice.
As this is a Fedora list, look at trying to view wmv files with a stock installation on Fedora. It can be done but there are issues with IP and copyrights.
If you have ever had the frustration of going to a WWW site that uses MS Java and won't work with Linux you will see what I mean.
