Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: totem

Wanting to play .WMV files with a WMA9 audio track in Totem, I got the error:
  ** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Windows Media Audio 9 
decoder|decoder-audio/x-wma, wmaversion=(int)3, bitrate=(int)256000 (Windows 
Media Audio 9 decoder)

Following directions in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats,
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and a dozen other places, I
installed several Xine and Gstreamer packages, w32codecs, and finally
totem-xine; the latter should reconfigure Totem to use the Xine
framework instead of Gstreamer.

Here's a summary of what I have:

(plus the attached output of gst-inspect-0.10)

Am I doing anything wrong? The error message from Totem still makes
reference to Gstreamer, which shouldn't be relevant now. Gxine plays the
files alright.

(Thanks for your time)
