It looks like it is a strange configuration issue. I tried the following commands, where /natty points to my natty installation:

1) I tried my Natty plugins:

GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/natty/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10 totem guardian-intro.mp4

and totem played the file successfully.

2) I tried the Oneiric plugins:

GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10 totem guardian-intro.mp4

but totem still couldn't find the plugin.

3) I tried the Oneiric 32-bit plugins:

GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib32/gstreamer-0.10 totem guardian-intro.mp4

and gst-plugin-scanner complained that everything was a 32-bit library, but totem DID play the file.

And after 3), totem plays the file without setting GST_PLUGIN_PATH. I'm not sure what changed, though. I guess it was a problem caused by upgrading from Natty to the new multi-architecture.
