Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

Description of the problem:
When rapidly pausing and unpausing short .wavs in totem warning boxes pop up saying:
"Media file could not be played."
If the P key is held down it is possible to lock totem entirely making a force quit necessary.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run totem /usr/share/sounds/gtk-events/activate.wav
2. Hold down P key on the keyboard.

Expected results:
Key to only send an event when released? Assuming repeat, rapid pause unpausing and stuttery sound.

Actual results:
Error dialogs saying "Media file could not be played." appear, sometimes totem locks up entirely and needs to be force quitted.

Version information:
totem 1.4.1-0ubuntu2
totem-gstreamer 1.4.1-0ubuntu2

I can't reproduce the problem as described on Feisty (often no sound output is produced when playing the specified file but there are no error dialogs). Resolve fixed?

Fogot to add:

and sometimes the following is output on the console after a P holding down P:

(totem:11795): Gtk-WARNING **: Radio group does not contain an action with value '-2'

(totem:12290): GStreamer-CRITICAL **:
Trying to dispose element test, but it is not in the NULL state.
You need to explicitly set elements to the NULL state before
dropping the final reference, to allow them to clean up.

Totem (in 7.10) goes a little bit funny when using the reproduction steps. Keep P held down until the time bar stops moving from left to right (this seems to happen after about 6 seconds on my system). When you next unpause the seekbar will not move and the sound will never start playing. totem no longer locks up though. Should this go into a new bug report?

setting back to new because original lock is gone but a small issue remains.
