Adding sessioninstaller, as it provides gst-install as the default gstreamer-codec-install alternative. It does not support the --interaction option and therefore conflict with the current gst-plugins-base in Wily. I don't know which one of them should be fixed, so I guess my investigation stop here for now.

Totem opens but no playback start. On the terminal I got this: ** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|1.0|totem|MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder|decoder-audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1, mpegaudioversion=(int)1, layer=(int)3, parsed=(boolean)true (MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder) Falling back to package information Usage: gstreamer-codec-install [options] gstreamer-codec-install: error: no such option: --interaction The wizard to install the missing codec actually fails to launch. The very same happen when attempting to play a video. Strangely enough, when the audio codec is supported but the video one is not, Totem starts to play the audio and just display a black rectangle instead of the actual video stream.
