I can confirm that totem-gstreamer on my kernel,
Linux xiliance 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
has the same behaviour. The file is read from a normal hdd. I found a few interesting lines in /var/log/messages:

Only the last line actually caused a 'stuck process'.
