Comment 14 for bug 545681

This came up for the first time for me in Ubuntu 10.10 just now.

After the error, totem continued to play the video stream but not the audio stream.

I didn't wait long enough to see if it would eventually fail.

This comes after a rash of odd behavior from totem (gstreamer) in the last month. See bugs #644644, and #375224 / #246319 (possibly duplicates).
