1. The distro is FC7. Initially rhythmbox also was refusing to play mp3 files. Then I installed the gstreamer plugin. At that point of time totem was playing mp3 files, but with poor sound quality.
2. The fundamental problem with totem is missing codecs. When I tried to ply *.dat file it spewed out such an error message. What confused me was that, for different *.dat files the error messages were also different.
3. fedorafaq.org advises installation of totem-xine as a solution
4. When I tried to install totem-xine by typing 'yum install totem-xine' at command line; i got some error messaging saying there is come compatibility issue with totem-plparser.
5. Then I used yum to remove totem and tried to install totem-xine again. The command line displayed rhythmbox as a package to be removed due to some dependency issue. I went ahead.
6. But that did not solve the problem. I reinstalled totem and rhythmbox. BACK TO SQUARE ONE.
7. What is the difference between totem and totem-xine ?
8. In between I tried Mplayer too but it also refuses to play some *.dat files.
