totem-xine doesn't play videoCD, xine does

Please describe the problem: using totem-xine in dapper up-to-date. when inserting a videoCD in the computer, i get a message from totem: "Totem could not play 'vcd:///media/cdrom1' There is no input plugin to handle the location of this movie" Later if I do "Movie->Play Disc <disc name>", I get a different message: "Totem could not play this media (Video CD) although a plugin is present to handle it. You might want to check that a disc is present in the drive and that it is correctly configured." If I start xine and click "VCD", the videoCD plays fine. Since I'm using totem-xine, totem should work too. when starting totem from the command line and clicking "movie->play disc <disc name>", the following is displayed on the terminal: ** (totem:5965): CRITICAL **: bacon_video_widget_open_with_subtitle: assertion `bvw->priv->mrl == NULL' failed that could be the reason for the problem maybe. There are really subtitles on that videoCD. I first reported that bug in ubuntu's bug tracker: https://launchpad.net/bugs/44730 Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
I fixed the detection in totem CVS HEAD, but xine-lib's VCD support is broken beyond belief. Please file a bug against xine-lib if the totem CVS HEAD version crashes.
The last bit of code to enable that was: 2006-05-27 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * src/plparse/totem-disc.c: (cd_cache_new_hal_ctx), (cd_cache_has_medium): Fix detection of whether a drive has a medium when using HAL >= 0.5
