mediainfo's info for that file

say, i am watching a matroska file with multiple audio stream (in MP3). They are recognized by totem and it allows me to switch between them either from the right-click menu or from the sound/language menu.

Once i changed the audio stream, i got no sound at all. This is the bug. i need to go back(rewind a bit) in the file to get sound back again.

This happens even if the video is paused during the switch of stream.

Moreover, if the video is playing when doing the switch sometimes it pauses the video for an undefinite time before playing it again if ever, still with no sound.

i can't post the file in question here, sorry.

i join a detailed output of mediainfo on that file.
it has vobsub subtitle and they also fail to show up at all. May be that needs to be a second bu report.

P.S: If this is related to gstreamer, let me know if i need to reopen a similar bug in gstreamer bugzilla.

in fact, if you wait enough time (between 25 seconds and 1 minute), you will eventually get sound back after you switched audio stream. It will make a scratch sound just before the sound gets back. 

this is IF the video does not freeze !

Consider this a warning. Next time you make this sort of comments, you'll be barred from Bugzilla.
