Apparently this is a side effect of a upgrade from a previous release.
In a fresh installation, according to the spec, gstreamer has a higher
priority than xine backend. If you have done a fresh installation and
see this issue, a bug report should be filed. Meanwhile you can remove
the totem-xine sub package.

It appears that you are correct. Based on your info, I did a yum remove
\*totem\* and then reinstalled it one at a time. I don't understand why
the yum update didn't work correctly, though.
