Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

Trying to play a SWF file in ubuntu 8.10 opens it in totem, but get a popup with this error:

An Error Occured
GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error

Running via command line in debug gives this:

The video attached is the famouse online "llama song" which I was trying to play.

To reproduce:
1) download the swf file attached.
2) double click it to play it in the default movie player (totem)

I would expect it to either play, or give information on what codec is needed to play it (as it does with .rm files).
