Happens with totem (xine backend) also. The error message shows:

Tried both gxine and totem(xine) on vmware with no soundcard setup for the VM. When enabling the soundcard totem works.
gxine also passes this point, enters it's initial setup and after the final step it restarts the system (the virtual machine) -- however, this might be another issue.
