I had the same issue with VLC.
I fixed it by...
sudo apt-get remove vlc vlc-nox (obviously totem would go here)
Then it told me of the libraries no longer in use...
libdc1394-13 libwxgtk2.6-0 libpostproc0d libdvbpsi4 libavformat0d libxosd2 libvlc0 libwxbase2.6-0 libgsm1 libdvdnav4 libiso9660-4 libkadm55 libavcodec0d libmodplug0c2 libtar libvcdinfo0 libmpcdec3 libsdl-image1.2
I just typed sudo apt-get remove "And pasted the info above"
The paste had a line break so it kicked i off early BUT I just ran sudo apt-get install vlc after that and it grabbed the libs and now I have no more static.
Good luck.
