Sorry to respond so late. According to the logs this issue should have
been fixed in version 4.2.0 by a patch John Stebbins submitted. The
link you give to the redhat bug confuses me a little bit, it seems totem
works but xine didn't. Not only that but the original reporter said that the
patch didn't help.

I am reluctant to apply the ubuntu patch unless it can be shown that
John's patch doesn't fix the issue in all cases.
