Another weird: when I hover my cursor over the one .wav files I have on this machine, it plays it - if I double click it, I get two mplayers playing it (out of sync - really weird!) and the error (but this makes sense). In fact, today I can connect my Windows VM to the sound device, no problem. I would say "never mind" but there is one more strange thing: when I right click on a sound file and try to get the properties, I get an error window that says: "Couldn't load the 'Properties dialog' interface. Make sure that Totem is properly installed." Then I get another window that says: "Creating Properties window. You can stop this operation by clicking cancel." When I click the "Ok" button in the first error window, the second one goes away and a properties dialog comes up. BUT I can't access the audio properties of the file - they're blank (probably a totem thing). This is moving OT since it is clearly not a CentOS problem but a Gnome problem, so I'll pursue it there, but does anyone else have an idea of what's going on here? > Install xmms and xmms-mp3.

Shoulding a lot, here, aren't I? Do I have to reinstall totem to get nautilus to read the audio file properties properly? That seems a little too interconnected for packages that ought to be independent (see? I can say "ought to" instead of "should," too :-).
