Yeah. I just switched the default playback device to VLC and MPlayer
where available. VLC seems to work better than MPlayer to read malformed
files, but I like the players to be self contained and not open up 2
windows, like the control window and the playback window. This is why
Totem is nice, but if it doesn't play sound then it's pretty much
useless.

I assure you that my sound works fine right now. Other players work fine
with it, including MythTV, but only Totem refuses to work right. I've
removed all speakers except a simple 2.1 speaker system connected to the
green plug. I'm using HDA ATI SB (ALSA Mixer) in sound control since it
gives the most controls. Front mic is disabled, everything else is
active. Sound events sound playback is on the PulseAudio Sound Server.
Music and Movies are on HDA ATI SB ALC1200 ANalog (ALSA). Audio
conferencing is set to HDA ATI SB ALC1200 ANalog (ALSA) and ALSA. The
default mixer track is set to Capture: HDA ATI SB ALC1200 Analog
(PulseAudio).

I know some of these selections might not be correct, but the system
works and the mixer shows the right stuff.

I'm still not sure what causes it, but Totem worked before the upgrade
but now the sound button is unavailable (grayed out). No sounds play.
Nothing else has changed on my system except the unplugging and
rearranging of speaker systems, removing Microsoft's and using a
standard one. I'm not sure if it matters but Microsoft's system did have
a USB plug, so Totem might still be looking for that and ignoring any
other options I give it.

Volume control and sound missing from Totem. All other video/music players work 
fine.
