[Bug 41105] [dapper] totem-xine and xine can't play some .asf files correctly

[Nicolò Chieffo]

Public bug reported:

Affects: totem (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
hello, I'm in this situation. I can't play correctly a .asf file either
using totem-gstreamer or totem-xine:

asf:
video
resolution 320x240
codec MS WMV 9 (win32)
framerate N/A
bitrate 227 kbps
audio
bitrate 23 kbps
codec MS Windows Media Audio 2 (ffmpeg)

1) if using totem-gstreamer audio is ok but I get no video (black). this is I think because gstreamer has no plugin to ms video format. (will it have?)
2) if using totem-xine video is ok but audio is played only for 1 second, when the player wants (10 seconds without audio, 1 second with audio wich seems disturbed, 30 seconds without aduio........)
totem-xine doesn't seem to use ffmpeg anyway to play audio.

mplayer can instead reproduce video and audio well!!! and I don't know
why, because totem-xine uses the same plugins (the one from
w32plugins.deb) as mplayer does!

I've also tried to open it using xine-ui but it's the same as totem-xine

anyway I noticed that I can't play audio even in a streaming video, so you can give a try too. here's the site:
(remember you have to install totem-xine-firefox-plugin and to remove other firefox video plugins)
