Please close this bug...
After doing several more searches I found this website (it's a RedHat
support forum): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449268
A user on it had similar problems with sound, but only with certain
video formats (Flash). This suggestion was made:
Comment #4 From Bastien Nocera 2008-06-02 05:26:42 EDT -------
Could you please try running gstreamer-properties, and setting the
default output to "autodetect"?
I then realized that even though every other application on my computer
was playing sound, Totem may be expecting a certain setting which is
preventing it from playing. I also realized that with other user's
sessions, like Root and Guest, that they have not had the sound
properties modified.
I reset the sound properties to autodetect like Bastien Nocera
recommended (I used gnome-sound-properties instead) and tested Totem
again. The sound works fine now.
In my opinion, this is still a bug that Totem does not use the preferred
sound output device as selected in gnome-sound-properties. It would
benefit Totem to have a sound option which could override the sound
properties as well. By doing so the sound on the computer could work
with the preferred device while Totem could be configured for something
completely different. A scenario would be if you have multiple sound
output devices.
