Please describe the problem:
when you try to watch a DVB TV channel with totem, you can't select the channel you want to watch by typing
totem dvb://<your favorite channel here>
However, gstreamer can do this, if there is a dvb-channel.conf file at ~/.gstreamer-0.10:
gst-launch uriplaybin uri="dvb://channel"

Steps to reproduce:
1. set up the DVB environment (e.g installing DVB card, creating dvb-channel.conf, install gstreamer codecs)
2. execute "totem dvb://channel"



Actual results:
an error message appears, telling me, the URL is invalid

Expected results:
it would be nice if totem would act just like uriplaybin. Furthermore I think it would be best, if totem-gstreamer would use uriplaybin to decode the URL, so the Totem team would have a bit less work to do ;)
It's especially annoying, because you can have dvb:// URLs in a playlist. These would be recognized by totem. But this seems to be handled by another code.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
I am using Ubuntu 8.10 Beta with totem-gstreamer. All codecs correctly installed, opening the URL with gst-launch works
