I'd ditch totem and use mplayer and the mplayer mozilla plugin instead.
I'd also recommend you get these packages from
www.debian-multimedia.org.  I use them on AMD64 (should work on
PPC too) Testing, but I also got them working fine on Etch before I
upgraded. I did not need to install any closed source libraries and I
could watch the recent Ninja Turtles hd trailer from the Apple site.
In my experience Totem is an absolute joke.  MPlayer and its' plugin
play just about anything.  You can even use it view Youtube videos with
out flash installed if you see one of my previous messages on this list.
