[Bug 83117] totem does change title on streaming media

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: totem

I like streamtuner.  So I install each time I test a new version of
Ubuntu.  As it's default it calls for xmms.  I don't particularly want
extra audio players on my machine so I change this to totem.  However in
xmms the title of the playing track changes when a new track start,
however in totem this doesn't happen.

Steps to recreate:

1. Install streamtuner/xmms.
2. using streamtuners default note the changing song titles.
3. change the default setting in properties on streamtuner so it reads as totem %q instead of xmms %q
4. hit the play button on streamtuner again and note that the song title doesn't change.

The only reason I am marking this as a bug is because I believe this to
be something that would be expected from any player on any other os.
But mostly because if xmms can do this then I believe that it should
relatively easy to get the code into totem to allow it to do it.

** Affects: totem (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
