I have both totem-nautilus and the assorted gstreamer-plugins installed for playing mp3 files through Totem.
I note that Totem doesn't appear to know the duration of an mp3. For example, if I right-click on a wav or ogg file and click on the audio tab, one of the fields is Duration and it tells me how long that file will play.
If I do the same with a mp3 file the duration field is always 0 seconds.
When I play a mp3 file with Totem the progress bar across the bottom doesn't move and the elapsed time display at the bottom says "Streaming" while counting up the seconds.
Have I missed something when setting up Totem to play mp3's?

Please note it is a PITA cause 'Rhythmbox' does the same dance. OTH, 'XMMX' does not (sometimes) playing the same file.
I find some of it comes from improperly encoded files (.flaac, mp3, etc). So the problem is not always the actual players. Sometimes it's the encoding software libs.
