On Feisty, I was able to consistently produce errors with the following
files.

vnix$ wget http://www.codectest.com/codectest/streamingcodectest.zip
vnix$ unzip streamingcodectest.zip
vnix$ totem wheeliesorensonvideo2cbr.mov wheelie.wmv
** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-gst-fourcc-Qclp, rate=(int)48000,

** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer.net|0.10|totem|audio/x-gst-fourcc-Qclp

** Message: No installation candidate for missing plugins found.

The "Message:" warnings are from the first video, and the DMO stuff is
from the second.  They repeat every time I attempt to play these videos.

For the audio codec warning, it would perhaps be more appropriate to
display a dialog box, since most users probably simply start Totem from
the menu, and will never see the warnings in their .xsession-errors.
For the DMO warnings, I don't know what they mean, but until they can be
made understandable to an intermediate user, perhaps they should simply
be suppressed.

To some extent, this is probably dependent on the installed codecs.

vnix$ ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/*codec*
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libavcodec0d.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libavcodec0d.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libavcodec0d.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libavcodec0d.postrm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libavcodec0d.shlibs
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libxine-extracodecs.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libxine-extracodecs.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/w32codecs.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/w32codecs.md5sums

I believe I originally installed the lpf w32codecs under Dapper; I also
have had ubuntu-commercial in my Apt sources.list.d at some point.
