Why does the pre-release Fedora 9 not have a simple WAV decoder? I
can't even play simple PCM files with totem (or any other media
player, except command-line 'play')
I've noticed that with F9 for some deeply annoying reason totem defaults
to using the xine backend, and the totem-backend selector appears to do
nothing, thus I have to start it from the commandline every time to get
gstreamer use.
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.
