I found the same thing late last night after I'd built all the
required totem deps, except that I used a sed (based on an ubuntu
patch) to avoid grilo (proved that it would play local files), and
left a review of grilo until today. I've just confirmed that the
change to require grilo is deliberate (I had wondered if it was
accidental, because the configure script still says that it will
skip over missing plugins) :

build: Error out if some required plugins are missing
That changed 'plugin_error_or_ignore' to 'plugin_error'.
I haven't looked at grilo's dependencies, or its plugins (which
will enable more of the totem plugins), but my gut feeling is that
at least grilo needs to be in the book.
I also noted that gentoo have it as optional, but they do that by
conditionally specifying which of the plugins to build (
--with-plugins= ) and hence omitting grilo plugins if grilo has not
been built. That doesn't seem practical for BLFS.
Rather than duplicate effort, I'll leave seahorse to you.
