Thanks, Sebastian.

That was true. There were gstreamer shared objects in /usr/local/lib and 
/usr/local/lib/gstreamer-0.10.
It is curious, because they were created before I had the last problem I 
posted to the list, which was solved after "make uninstall" of the 
source code I have compiled and installed (and everything was working fine).

Now comes the funny part. Today, I tried to "make uninstall" all the 
gstreamer sources I had. But afterwards, the shared objects remained in 
/usr/local. So I removed them manually. I also removed 
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/gstreamer.conf, which containied "/usr/local/lib". And 
*then* I remembered that some (not all, but some) of the sources  were 
configured with "--prefix=/usr" (yes, I also remember your mail telling 
me explicitly not to make uninstall these ones).

Finally, I have "apt-get install --reinstall"ed  all gstreamer packages 
and now totem works fine.
The problem is that I cannot compile the other program (qt-playbin) 
because gstinterfaces-0.10 is not found (even after reinstalling 
plugins-base).
