I reported [Bug 460059] Re: .wmv files not playing‏ , which was identified as a duplicate of this, and my symptoms were reproducible. It occurred whenever I opened any of my .wmv files in totem. They had been created in Windows Vista splitting a video from a jvc camcorder into .wmv files.

Further to above comment, I edited one of the .wmv files in windows live movie maker on windows 7, saved it as a new .wmv file, then tried playing the file in totem on ubuntu 9.10 rc and it played correctly, with video and sound in sync. The original .wmv files (created via windows movie maker from windows vista) still won't play.
