I get the same thing with every backend.  It's ridiculous that i can
actually stream videos more reliably over 3G on my phone than using
totem on an 8mbit broadband connection (no joke).  Seems like fixing
this isn't a priority for anyone either considering this problem still
persists after more than 3 years.  No idea what 'triage' refers to but
if it's changing the network settings that does nothing for me. Tried
network-buffer-threshold at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 999, no
effect.  Didn't even have a 'buffer-size' setting but tried adding one
at various levels, no effect.  However there is good news; TBerk's fix -
using a competing utility - works perfectly.  By abandoning totem
altogether and using gecko-mediaplayer plugin with mplayer, streaming
works flawlessly, as it should do, and does everywhere else, including
buffering on pause, intelligent starting, et c.  Why does gnome default
to totem and its browser plugin over gnome-mplayer and its plugin? Not
sure who to ask about this but it seems like the switch should be made.
