not a totem bug.

Try installing the ubuntu-restricted-extras meta-package. This package contains a lot of useful codecs for playing non-free media formats.

Good Luck!

Once playing a flash SWF, all gstreamer stops working (Totem, Rhythmbox, etc). Conversely, flash movies start but do not play when a gstreamer application is running. My sound card is Intel, and I'm using ALSA. This is pretty serious - it's unrealistic to expect people to either surf the web OR listen to music; but not both.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I can report that this is no longer an issue for me, using:
  - GStreamer Core Library version 0.10.21
  - flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.22.87ubuntu1~intrepid1
on Intreipid with a 2.6.27-13-generic kernel. It appears to be fixed.
