But when I try (in my TEST ubuntu partition) to do an "apt-get install
totem-xine" it says it will uninstall totem-gstreamer.

I feel bad in remove the ubuntu default that is totem-gstreamer
because I dont understand so much about this and I dont know if it
will bring me problems in the future.

Someone can tell me something about this?
