Bug#685884: gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio prevents audio from working in totem

[John Lewis]

Package: gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio
Version: 0.10.24-1
Severity: important

I managed to work around this problem by simply uninstalling 
gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio, but the problem comes back every time I 
reinstall gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio. I have noticed a pattern.
