I have been able to get all the various media players to work, I would
just very much prefer to get Totem with gstreamer working correctly
since this is what is shipped with ubuntu/gnome by default. Totem also
has some nice features like the screensaver diabling which i like b/c
this drives my nuts. I sit and watch a movie and the dang screensaver
pops up all the time and i don't like setting the screensaver to only
come on after 3 hours. If I cannot get it to work I guess I will just
have to move over to using xine but I really don't want to. I will
post again if I can get this all to work with gstreamer.
