Yes. apt-get install alsa
The GP appears to misunderstand the output of apt-cache depends . It
says that totem depends on alsa (and hence, if you remove alsa, it
would also remove totem), not the other way round.
The other side of the coin, though, is that libxine suggests ALSA, but
doesn't depend on it. So, if totem was the last thing that depended on
ALSA, they may be removed together. Two solutions to this come to
mind: 1) apt-get install alsa will force ALSA to be installed (and
gxine will, I think, use it if it's there), or installing gxine
/before/ removing totem may cause ALSA to not be marked unused, and so
not uninstalled.
You can do 'aptitude show alsa-base' to see if it's installed.
Although, you say you have amixer, which should AFAIK be part of alsa.
