Title:
  Totem does not play asx playlist trees correctly

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: totem

  Summary:
  Totem 2.18.0 in Ubuntu Feisty Beta (using today's repository, xine-lib 1.1.4 and today's GStreamer 0.10.12) only plays the *first* video in a master-playlist containing nested asx sub-playlists (in a playlist tree with arbitrary depth). 

  Microsoft media player iterates over all sub-playlists (the
  nodes/leaves of the tree) correctly and plays *all*  the videos in the
  nested playlist.

  The master asx playlist (the root of the tree, listed below) contains further references to other nested asx sub-playlists as in a tree of playlists. Each sub-playlist leaf contains only one mms: video stream element each which should be played.
  Each sub-playlist is successfully played by totem if started manually, but totem fails to iterate over all of them if given the master playlist to play.

  Steps to reproduce the bug:
  totem "http://mrc.gran.googlepages.com/example-nested-playlist.asx";

  Results:
  - only the first item of the master-playlist above is shown.
  - each item can be played successfully if manually started using the sub-playlist urls (see list of urls below).
  - *sometimes*, totem can be made to iterate over some of the master playlist items if the 'next item' button is pressed repeatedly without stopping.

  Comments:
  - Microsoft media player fetches/plays each asx sub-playlists and mms: streams inside them synchronously (depth-first, blocking  the iteration that fetches the next asx sub-playlist contents until the current videostream is over or cancelled). 
  - maybe totem is doing this asynchronously (breadth-first, fetching the contents of all asx sub-playlists before starting to play the first videostream)?

  
  The master playlist in the root of the tree (pointing to nested sub-playlists) given as example:
