FYI, I have filed the following....

*Bug 513904* <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=513904> -
totem plays some files at an accelerated rate

Based on the text in my email in the "Ranter thread":

On F11 vlc will play this file in the noted time... 1:48 while totem
sort of plays it.... It zips through the file in about 12 seconds.
Sadly, I'm running this on a vbox system and don't have sound so I don't
know what happens to it. But, if vlc displays correctly then so should
totem.

As I mention, I've F11 running in vbox and don't currently have audio.
I don't think this will have an affect but if anyone cares to download
Rain.wmv and try it out, please do.
