Bug#461833: totem-xine as default

[Joey Hess]

So FWIW, I agree with Joss, since #370789 seems unlikely to be fixed
soon, totem-xine should be the default for lenny.

Perhaps there are reasons to prefer using the gstreamer version? I know
that totem used to default to xine, and switched to the well-working
gstreamer 0.8 for etch.

If the error message were at least fixed to not lead users on a wild
goose chase for codecs, as I suggest in #464624, and it instead
suggested using totem-xine, that might be enough to leave
totem-gstreamer as the default. After all, libdvdcss2 has to be manually
installed to play most dvds, and so we can't aim for perfect dvd support
out of the box anyway. Unless something happens with discover or the
like to automate setting that up..
