The culprit is totem, then. Totem is a "fully GNOME-ified" app. These changes and processes only start when you watch a video, right? You might try to install xine or gmplayer and set xine/gmplayer as your preferred media player in gPodder's preferences. This way, when you click on "play" to play a video or audio file, xine/gmplayer get launched instead of totem, so no GNOME-ified app gets started :) Does using gmplayer or xine fix your problem?
