I tried to play a wav file from a CD, totem said that a plugin was missing and launched gstreamer-codec-install.
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly was listed and selected.
I clicked on install, proceeded with confirmation and authentication and after some time a small untitled dialog popped up saying that 'Package is already installed / There isn't any need for an installation'
The 'Details' part of this dialog is 1 pixel height.
After closing this dialog totem is still unable to play a a wav file.
This very file can be played successfully with rhythmbox.
