  GStreamer | don't know | 1.0.5

           Summary: Totem won't play 5.1 surround DVDs
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.0.5
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: don't know
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: roeplay at lavabit.com

     GNOME version: ---


When I try to play this DVD in Totem, I get the error message 'The stream is in
the wrong format." and nothing plays.

Also important is that this DVD video has 5.1 surround sound elements. I tested
multiple other DVDs with 5.1 surround, and the same error occurred. For some of
them, opening individual video elements (.VOB files on the DVD) still works
fine.

Yes, I have all gstreamer packages, good, bad, ugly, etc., of both the .10 and
1 variety.

Yes, I have libdvdcss.

I've reported this for the gstreamer component because I'm all but certain that
it's the source of the trouble.

This DVD plays without any problem in VLC.

Attached is the (very long) log file from the stack trace, made by running
strace -o /tmp/some-file.log totem 2'. Very important is that, in the process
of running that, my terminal outputs 'No accelerated IMDCT transform found'.
Not sure what that means.
