[Bug 1698270] [NEW] Totem pauses and stutters during video playback even when CPU usage is low

Totem pauses and stutters during video playback even when CPU usage is
low.

After figuring out how to play videos with full hardware accelerated
decoding (e.g. <= 10% CPU), I was surprised to find Totem still pauses
and stutters during playback. Other apps like Mplayer, VLC and even gst-
play-1.0 never have this problem.
