Bug#652250: libavcodec53 (et al) freeze totem playing .WMV

[Steven R. Wright]

package: libavcodec53 (and others)

after a recent upgrade,  totem could no longer play a .WMV file;  it 
would freeze after what seemed to be a single frame.  the culprit 
appeared to be an upgrade of codecs:

ii  libavcodec53                          5:0.9-0.2                    
Library to encode decode multimedia streams - runtime files.
ii  libavdevice53                         5:0.9-0.2                    
FFmpeg device handling library.
ii  libavfilter2                          5:0.9-0.2

ii  libavformat53                         5:0.9-0.2

ii  libavutil-dev                         5:0.9-0.2

i rolled these back to:

and totem was able to play .WMV files with no problems.
