I use totem nearly all the time since Dapper (In Breezy, I was using a
mix of gxine and vlc);  I simply had to install the half-dozen
different gstreamer plugins packages found
in universe/multiverse (the good-bad-ugly packages...) to make it
usable. But once it's done, I have to say that I don't see that many
media files that totem cannot deal with it (for my own personal
usage).
