At this time Totem is working on my system. I believe that what happens is that one of the many sound systems (pulse, esd, alsa, oss) gets stuffed up, and totem stops working because it happens to use that interface. It seems like Skype is what usually leads to the messed up sound system. Rhythmbox is generally not affected. However, at times the sound system gets further jammed so that the flash plugin in firefox siezes up. So this is probably more of a design limitation in Totem than a bug, but the error reporting in Totem could be improved.
I used to be a developer for a Linux distribution, and if I still were I'd write a diagnostic application to show which sound systems were installed on the system and test how each of them was working. -- No audio, no message, disabled volume control https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/386022 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to totem in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
