Bug#269901: /usr/bin/totem: Playback time should optional count down rather than up

[Johan Walles]

Package: totem-gstreamer
Version: 0.99.15.1-2
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/totem

When I'm playing a song, the main window says in the bottom left corner:

Spelar | 1:42 / 4:12

This is with a Swedish locale, so "Spelar" is probably "Playing" in 
English.  Anyway, the left time counts up until it reaches the right 
time.

I'd like to be able to get it to count down from the right time towards 
zero.  I've tried right-clicking the time but I didn't get a context 
menu for this.  I also looked through the preferences without finding 
anything relevant-looking.

  Regards //Johan
