Bug Description

By new w32codecs (1:20110131-0.1medibuntu1) package, Totem doesn't play Windows Media format files because it does refer to symlink "/usr/lib/win32" codecs library that w32codes no longer provides.

Totem gives this error:

"wine/module: Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: wmvdmod.dll, /usr/lib/win32/wmvdmod.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/wmvdmod.dll
Failed creating a video decoder: could not open DMO filter from DLL wmvdmod.dll"

It should fix the problem. Let me know if it doesn't.

OK,
w32codecs 1:20110131-0.1medibuntu2
<http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20110131-0.1medibuntu2_i386.deb>
package fix the problem.

P.S.: I think it's better to create a symbolic link to "/usr/lib/codecs"
folder instead of more symbolic links to each codec library files.
