ASF is not a supported format, so this is not a bug → moving to feature requests.

Note: You can find a list of supported formats here: Multimedia | Sailfish OS Documentation

asf is part of GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins:
Gstreamer Plugins Ugly 1.20.4 (JollaPhone & X & XA2 & aarch64) | OpenRepos.net — Community Repository System or Gstreamer 1.21.90 Plugins Ugly (JollaPhone & X & XA2) | OpenRepos.net — Community Repository System are suitable
after install you can check with gst-inspect-1.0 asf
if asfdemux is listed, it should work
