For me, the bug is definitely present also with gst-launch-0.10 playbin, using 3 pivoted monitors, with 14.04LTS. Smplayer gets the aspect ratio right (make your life better and ditch totem). This bug is 8 years old.

When I rotate the screen with xrandr -o left or Grandr, totem gets the aspect ratio wrong. For instance a 4:3 film is shown as 3:4, that means higher than wide. It is also not possible to correct the aspect ratio from the GUI menu. New video thumbnails are also distorted, however in the other direction: They become much wider than hig. Kaffeine shows the same buggy behaviour as Totem, while VLC doesn't. VLC gets the aspect ratio right. This bug was also not there in Feisty.
