Bug#418059: totem-mozilla: Totem quits too early to play short wave files

[Hongzheng Wang]

Hi,

Thank you for your mail.

Strictly, this problem occurs only when totem-xine is used.  In fact,
I tested totem-gstreamer 2.16, and the mozilla plugin provided by it
works well.  So,
could you try to reproduce this bug by installing totem-xine instead?  The
problem is not only the incompletion, but also the poor noisy quantity.

I believe there must be something wrong with the mechanism of the
mozilla plugin
provided by totem-xine, since the standalone totem-xine does be able to play
the short wave files quite properly (these wave files are downloaded from the
Merriam-Webster website).

For example,

Thanks.
