Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: totem

On Jaunty Beta, Ubuntu will not automatically find the codes for MMS /
ASX content: errors will occur and content will not be played.

Workaround: manual install of package "Gstreamer plugins for mms,
wavpack, quicktime, ..." via Add/Remove.

Real solution: totem / Ubuntu should install automagically.


Long description

totem can not automatically play the MMS / ASX content 
"http://www.omroep.nl/live/thema/nos_journaal24-bb.asx";.
FWIW: vlc does play this URL.

Ubuntu tries to find a codec, but fails:

"The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install 
suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for a plugin that 
supports the selected file?
The search will also include software which is not officially supported."
After clicking on Search, I get the message:

"No packages with the requested plugins found
The requested plugins are:
Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source"

I have enabled all software sources: main, universe, restricted,
multiverse.
