Right now totem is set as the default application for all multimedia related files and it does not work as it should--i.e. there is no sound when any multimedia file is opened--even for ogg or wav files. Video files run but without any sound.
I can't get totem to work correctly but vlc works perfectly. I tried all the usual tricks--install the bad files, restricted formats, etc etc but totem does not work. gxine and others also work but totem does not.
So my question is --which configuration file needs to be tweaked such that all multimedia formats by default open with VLC and not with totem?
am using ubuntu9.04 and have an integrated sound card on an asus motherboard. Have changed the properties of most multimedia formats in nautilus to open with VLC instead of totem by default but there are cases such as while using search or other applications (such as kalarm) where the default system program for multimedia (ie totem) gets activated.
