Error message when trying to play Realaudio files is confusing

[Mary Gardiner]

I know that Warty's default totem cannot play non-free audio encodings, but:

1. Click on a "Real Audio" link (in my case, the one from
http://esl.about.com/library/listening/blIPAvowels.htm which points to
http://esl.about.com/library/media/audio/IPAvowel.ram) in Mozilla Firefox

2. Firefox asks me if I want to open it it totem

3. totem opens

4. totem gives "An error occured. There is no element present to handle the
stream's mime type text/uri-list"

From a gnome-terminal:

1. $ totem IPAvowel.ram

2. See 3 above

3. See 4 above

This is an incomprehensible error message when the error is actually "totem
cannot play Real Audio files".

confirmed (and doesn't happen with the xine version)

I've reported it upstream:

the messages should be clear with the current version, I'm closing the bug. Feel
free to reopen if that's still an issue for you.
