which distro?totem-xine is preferable although totem-gstreamer also works well.
make sure you have esd enabled in the gnome menu System>preferences>sound>Devices.
also try installing libesd-alsa0 instead of libesd.restart the system or restart alsa and invoke esd and check whether totem works.
for totem to play major codecs it can do it with xine,else install gstreamer plugins.
