Public bug reported:
SWF files are opened with Totem by default, but it fails to play them:
** Message: Error: GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error.
gstffmpegdemux.c(1243): gst_ffmpegdemux_open ():
/GstPlayBin2:play/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin20/ffdemux_swf:ffdemux_swf0:
Input/output error
This is apparently quite an old problem, and there are many related
abandoned bug reports. But my point is that Ubuntu shouldn't try to feed
SWF to Totem unless it can play them. It's confusing to the user.
