Totem does know it has to download proprietary codecs (nice), but doesn't recognize I already have it installed and keeps asking me to (re)install it, and then it fails saying it is (duh) already installed :-/

Hi Andre,
There are so many media players that I do not see why you want
to even bother to solve the problem with a crappy and lame media player
like totem. There are these players I use:
mplayer, kmplayer, smplayer, xine, gxine, gnome-mplayer (aka gmplayer ???), and Realplayer for Linux. And for audio only, amarok,  audacious, to name just a couple.

Cheers,

MK
