Public bug reported:

totem-audio-preview claims to play the audio stream of a video:

    jeff@london:~ $ totem-audio-preview --help
    Usage:
      totem-audio-preview [OPTION…] Plays audio passed on the standard input or 
the filename passed on the command-line

    Help Options:
      -h, --help                        Show help options
      --help-all                        Show all help options
      --help-gst                        Show GStreamer Options

    Application Options:
      -m, --mimetype                    List the supported mime-types
      --g-fatal-warnings                Make all warnings fatal

    jeff@london:~ $

But it actually plays the first minute or so and then kills itself:

    jeff@london:Moussorgski $ totem-audio-preview 
tableaux-d-une-exposition.webm 
    Killed
    jeff@london:Moussorgski $ 

strace suggests that it's doing the kill itself:

    clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {167861, 53095135}) = 0
    poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 
3, 200) = ? <unavailable>
    +++ killed by SIGKILL +++
    Killed
    jeff@london:Moussorgski

The bug is (preferably) that it should play the full audio stream in the
absence of a flag specifying what amount to play, or, failing that, that
the help text is manifestly incorrect.  In the latter case, this is also
a wishlist item that it should be able to play a configurable amount of
the stream, including the entire stream.
