I see the same problem with a fresh install of Dapper Flight 5, and using a freshly created user account.

video driver: i810
videosink: according to gconf, it is "autovideosink", so I'm not sure exactly which one it picks.

It happens only when a audio file is actually playing.

One thing I noticed in this freshly created user account: In the Totem preferences, "show visual effects when audio file is played" is on by default, but the the type of visualisation is blank. If you click on the blank field, then "GOOM: what a GOOM!" appears. One you do that, and restart totem, the problem with the menus is gone, no matter if the visualisation is on or off.

So it seems initially in totem visualisation is on, but no visualisation is selected, and in that situation the menus don't close during an audio playback.
