Well well well... I've just tried it on my RedHat 9.
If I launch totem without any file, it works. But when I try to play
anything, my CPU goes craz and I have to remove the power cable :( By
the way, the video doesn't start, it just does nothing. I can move the
mouse cursor (even if it hardly responds) but I can't click on anything
and the keyboard doesn't seem to work anymore. CTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't work
either...

I have the same behaviour if I try to play an Audio CD without having
any CD in the driver. So I guess it's not due to the playback itself but
to something performed just before trying to actually play.

Any idea ?
