Have you installed recent versions of totem, all gstreamer components and have you also installed gst-ffmpeg? gstreamer supports almost the same set of codecs as mplayer when not using any binary codecs and those are not that important anymore since WMV9/VC-1 is available in gst-ffmpeg and mplayer; gstreamer/totem still has some more issues with live streaming, as far as I can tell, but it's getting there.
