patch to disable 

Downstream at launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/825580


The totem-mozilla plugin doesn't provide any way to disable visualisations, even if you disable them from the main totem menu.

This means that all audio streams that are shown in the plugin have the default 'goom' visualisation, which is very processor intensive and makes slow machines very sluggish.

I've attached a patch which disables visualisations completely. It would be nice if this could be the default behaviour in ubuntu, at least until upstream provides some way of manually disabling it, for a number of reasons:

1) visualisations like this needlessly waste power, especially on battery
2) visualisations make sound playback on slow computers choppy, and make the computer sluggish
3) no-one really needs visualisations at all.

Thanks.
