Title:
  playing MMS / .ASX with totem needs manual install of codec package

Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: totem

  On Jaunty Beta, Ubuntu will not automatically find the codes for MMS /
  ASX content: errors will occur and content will not be played.

  Workaround: manual install of package "Gstreamer plugins for mms,
  wavpack, quicktime, ..." via Add/Remove.

  Real solution: totem / Ubuntu should install automagically.


  
  Long description

  totem can not automatically play the MMS / ASX content "http://www.omroep.nl/live/thema/nos_journaal24-bb.asx";.
  FWIW: vlc does play this URL.

  Ubuntu tries to find a codec, but fails:

  "The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for a plugin that supports the selected file?
  The search will also include software which is not officially supported."
  After clicking on Search, I get the message:

  "No packages with the requested plugins found
  The requested plugins are:
  Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source"

  I have enabled all software sources: main, universe, restricted,
  multiverse.
