Problems with specific ASF files...

I've already used "Search" (as well as Google'd around with every combination I could think of), but if this has been previously addressed I've failed to find it:

  I have a set of ASF files. They have junk appended to the end of them (but it is not anything meant to be there; it is not encryption data, or user data, or any thing else... just junk!), but I don't know exactly where the junk begins. If I could determine that, I would like to strip off the junk and save some space.

  These are audio-only ASF files. It may be that there is some way to extract the audio portion to a WMA file without re-encoding; if so, that would probably accomplish what I want.

  Here is the file info for one of these tracks, as reported by Winamp (using Peter's alternate WMA plug-in v1.0):

  Is there a readily-identifiable marker to designate the proper end of an ASF stream, or a simple way to transmux an unprotected ASF to WMA without transcoding? I would really rather not transcode to any other format, if I can avoid it. (... but then, I would really have preferred the source to use a different codec in the first place!)
