Bug#746641: totem: Fails to play youtube videos

For the record.... 

Updating the previously incorrect patch with the attached version
(created via git revert this time) we run into yet another problem.

We have both lua 5.1 and 5.2 in the debian archive.

Old libquvi pulls in lua 5.1 and grilo-plugins-0.2 pulls in lua 5.2.

With totem-pl-parser rebuilt with the attached patch it means
totem will now crash on startup in lua (via grilo-plugins)....
likely caused by both lua versions being loaded at the same time
(without symbol versioning).

If I understand things correctly, when we get libquvi 0.9 this problem
is avoided since quvi (0.9 still uses lua 5.1 in debian) and
grilo-plugins runs in different processes.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
