If you use Totem with the GStreamer backend (as opposed to XINE backend), make sure you have the Pitfdll[1] GStreamer component installed.

totem complains that it does not have codecs to play *.wmv files.

I found MPlayer's Web site downlaod section at
http://mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/dload.html
and downloaded from there essential-20050412.tar.bz2.

After bunzipping+untarring it to a temporary directory, I invoked
totem's add proprietary plugins, and it moved the files to
~/.gnome2/totem-addons

After doing the above, totem still does not recognize *.wmv files.
The README file in the above .tar.bz2 only explains how to use the
plugins in MPlayer, which does not exist in Debian Sarge main (fully
Free software).

What (if anything) did I miss?
