I can confirm this bug on Dapper with latest updates as of today. The bug is only there with totem-xine, not with totem-gstreamer (just double checked), so I guess it should be re-assigned.
I suspect it may have something to do with the default image shown by Totem when no media file is loaded. When it should show that image, it crashes. Do you need more debugging info? -- the totem crash after remove the single audio from playlist https://launchpad.net/bugs/44530 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
