Title:
Totem does not play asx playlist trees correctly

Bug description:
Binary package hint: totem
Summary:
Totem 2.18.0 in Ubuntu Feisty Beta (using today's repository, xine-lib 1.1.4
and today's GStreamer 0.10.12) only plays the *first* video in a
master-playlist containing nested asx sub-playlists (in a playlist tree with
arbitrary depth).
Microsoft media player iterates over all sub-playlists (the
nodes/leaves of the tree) correctly and plays *all* the videos in the
nested playlist.
The master asx playlist (the root of the tree, listed below) contains further
references to other nested asx sub-playlists as in a tree of playlists. Each
sub-playlist leaf contains only one mms: video stream element each which should
be played.
Each sub-playlist is successfully played by totem if started manually, but
totem fails to iterate over all of them if given the master playlist to play.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
totem "http://mrc.gran.googlepages.com/example-nested-playlist.asx";
Results:
- only the first item of the master-playlist above is shown.
- each item can be played successfully if manually started using the
sub-playlist urls (see list of urls below).
- *sometimes*, totem can be made to iterate over some of the master playlist
items if the 'next item' button is pressed repeatedly without stopping.
Comments:
- Microsoft media player fetches/plays each asx sub-playlists and mms:
streams inside them synchronously (depth-first, blocking the iteration that
fetches the next asx sub-playlist contents until the current videostream is
over or cancelled).
- maybe totem is doing this asynchronously (breadth-first, fetching the
contents of all asx sub-playlists before starting to play the first
videostream)?
The master playlist in the root of the tree (pointing to nested
sub-playlists) given as example:
<asx version = "3.0">
