Thanks for your bug report. Does totem print any error messages when this happens?
Can you play "/usr/share/example-content/kalimoto-miracle- lemon.ogg" in totem? I can't reproduce the problem here with oggs or mp3s nor with the wavs in /usr/lib/openoffice/share/gallery/sounds/ gstreamer0.10-plugins-good 0.10.3-0ubuntu4 -- Totem won't play sound files https://launchpad.net/bugs/45592 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
