hmm..totem isnt really all that great of a program. i really wasnt 
impressed with teh fact that it "supported" all these file types (such 
as mpg, avi, mp3, wmv, wav, etc), yet it only works with a few of them 
(ive only had success with avi and wav files)

If i were you, i would ditch totem and go with mplayer. its probably the 
best media player ive used on linux
