I'm running Totem-Xine, not Totem-gstreamer. This is very likely an xine
issue, given that mplayer plays the same video files well.
Ubuntu acknowledges that "Since the version of Totem that comes with
Ubuntu doesn't yet play DVDs, the list below also includes packages for
the GXine player, which does."
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats).
I'm going to live with this defect, and play .avi files with mplayer.

With every release tried (4.10, 5.04, 5.10, 6.06), getting smooth
playback from something_or_other (DVD etc) has always quickly
necessitated dumping it. Because installing Xine, which works much
better, requires that. There's a bunch of de-codec packages needed too.

It's a Totem problem! MPlayer is playing the same files fine. Haven't
had any success on Google or ubuntuforums.org yet, though.

Before upgrading to Ubuntu Dapper, Totem was able to play every video
file that I had thrown at it. I'm now getting badly munged sound on
.avi
files, notably those from our own digital camera.
The audio codec that it's using is Linear PCM (not exactly challenging)
at 88kbps. There seems to be something wrong here.
Audio playback is fine from .mpg (a Sony digital camera) using MPEG
audio layer 2 codec, and audio playback is fine from DVD.
