I should supplement "add another MKV file to the playlist and there's no
problem" with that the second file could also be the same file, so that
the playlist is comprised of two instances of the same file. This way it
works audiowise the way it should even with the file there just once, so
it's an effective, albeit silly workaround.

Title:
  Audio stops working on repeated play of MKV file

Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  With just one file on the playlist and looped (with repeat mode on),
  at about 0:24 during the second play the audio goes mute and doesn't
  recover by itself. Restarting the video by double-clicking on the
  playlist item makes the audio come back.

  The funny thing is, if you add another MKV file to the playlist and
  let it loop between the two files, there's no problem. But with the
  single file repeating it looks to be 100% reproducible.

  Doesn't seem to be reproducible using MP4 or AVI files, just MKV. Not
  reproducible with VLC. I've thus far found at least two MKV files [1],
  [2] that reproduce this 100 %. IIRC, the issue didn't occur with these
  same files back in Lucid.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Download one of the aforementioned MKV files.
  2. Load it in Totem.
  3. Set 'Repeat Mode' on.
  4. Play the file, wait for it to loop.

  What happens:
  At about 0:24 during the second play the audio goes mute.

  What I expect to happen:
  The audio to continue playing normally during the second and subsequent loops also.
