Since 0.10.4 gnomevfssrc won't play some files on NFS mounts. Totem returns the
following error :

Totem could not play
'file:///mnt/lothlorien/media/video/series/Stargate/Everything
Stargate/Stargate SG-1/Season 5/Stargate SG-1 [5x18] The Warrior.avi'.
Cannot play this file over the network. Try downloading it to disk first.

Other files do play, but crash on seeking.

snippet of IRC discussion :

<__tim> gnomevfssrc uses gnome_vfs_uri_is_local() to predicate whether
pull-mode is supported (to avoid opening a resource twice in a short time to
check for that, which breaks with some http servers like last.fm)
<__tim> in this case gnome_vfs_uri_is_local() returns (correctly) FALSE, which
means certain demuxers/decoders like avidemux and flacdec won't work
<foser> so those plugins need fixing ?
<__tim> no, gnomevfssrc needs fixing
