Bug Description

This is related to Bug #28177.

Totem can play an pure ac3 sound file and it is recognized as Dolby Digital source by my amplifier.
This is not the case with DVDs!
With Totem, DVDs are always recognized by my amp as stereo.
Playing the same DVD with vlc-player, Dolby Digital is recognized fine.
Totem shows in properties that the DVD has "Dobly Digital (AC-3) codec.

This was tested with totem 3.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.4

According to upstream Totem 3.0.1 is too old and is based on gstreamer 0.10. They are working on fix for gstreamer 1.0 however.

Since I have no Utopic Unicorn machine, I cannot confirm it is fixed. I should probably upgrade because of tis.
