Comment 37 for bug 108623

Amazing! This bug still exists on Lucid and last status is a 'Wont Fix'. The workaround is awkward and not well documented.
Well, as TBerk wrote on 2009-11-18, I have a feeling that Totem will be replaced in future. I mean it's unbelievable that this bug's life spans over several releases. Either fix it or remove the streaming capabilities from it, so we can decide whether we should keep it or throw it away and use another player.
