Replying to myself, it seems that I needed to have esd running to get  
any kind of audio. The interesting thing however is that when I do  
this, the video frame-rate becomes VERY jittery to the point that it's  
nowhere near fluid video.

CPU usage doesn't seem to be an issue, so I have a feeling that it's  
something to do with the interaction between esound and totem.

Has anyone got this working properly? Can totem use alsa? It would be  
nice to be able to play multiple sounds at once (gaim sounds + video  
for example) however I really can't seem to find a way to be able to  
make this happen, and still get acceptable performance...

> Thoughts? Ideas?

As above :)
