Is there a way to "fade-out" a WMA file without re-encoding?

Probably a noob question to anyone accustomed to dealing with WMA files, but as I generally tend to avoid that format, I am unsure about the answer:

Is there any way to losslessly "fade-out" the end of an WMA file? I know this can be done by setting per-frame gain on an MP3 file via a program like mpTrim.

The closest approach I have found for manipulating WMA is AsfBin, which allows lossless trimming, splicing and other such edits... but unfortunately AsfBin does not appear to offer any means of affecting a fade-in/fade-out.

Thank you!

fade out without re-encode is not possible, but you can split, fade short segment with re-encode, and join with main file

ZinCh is correct but I've never managed to do it without introducing an audible glitch at the join point.  Granted I typically am working with MP3 and WMA may behave differently.  If you succeed, will you post what software(s) you used?
