I disabled CD playback in Totem because Xine can't do CDDA playback.
In Totem, I'd need gconf keys for:

- DVD device
- CD-Rom device (for VCD)
- "midnight playback" (averages volume on DVDs, so you don't get spikes
of noise that would wake up the neighbours ;) (only works on ac3
playback right now).

I also have:
- auto_resize (resize the window automatically depending on the size of
the stream/video)
- raw DVD device
- Audio driver (very Xine specific, set to auto and "just works" by
default)

Totem won't do CDs until CDDA is supported by Xine, or it is ported to
GStreamer, and I probably wouldn't want all the features found in
gnome-cd anyway.
