WMA = "Windows Media Audio"

You need to install FfMpeg for WMA support - as Koz said, Lame doesn't do WMA (Lame is for MP3 encoding)

The lame software will not manage Windows Media. Did you download and install FFMpeg?

I thought one of the latest versions of Audacity knew how to speak Windows Media. What version do you have?

I found some bugs exporting multichannel audio: 1) I can't export to ffmpeg m4a if the audio is 48 KHz in srcexportExportFFmpegDialogs.h the line 381 must be (instead the commented): static const int iAACSampleRates[] = { 7350, 8000, 11025, 12000, 16000, 22050, ...

It worked GREAT! I had to up grade to the latest beta, but the ffmpeg installed quickly and easily, and I am operating again!
Thank you so much! (a guy's music is important!) Thanks for the guidance on this matter.
