Curious, do you have Xine installed? How about Mplayer? If so then give them a try. I've never used Totem so I'm not sure where the issue might be but if Mplayer or Xine works then you know you have a configuration issue with Totem. Also do you know the wmv file you are playing works? These things might be obvious but are offen overlooked.
