I get much the same errors as you do:

$ cd /usr/share/sounds/alsa
$ totem Front_Center.wav Side_Left.wav

(totem:3859): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: instance of invalid
non-instantiatable type `(null)'

(totem:3859): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handlers_destroy:
assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
Segmentation fault

I can of course subscribe to the bug if it helps.
Dont think I can add much to help though :-)
