What sort of file are you trying to play? What sound engine is totem using with those files? I never use totom, so I can't give advise, ... only ask questions that YOU should be asking. Do you have w32codec-all installed?

I have my mplayer set to xv and alsa. I use smplayer as a front end to mplayer. And I never run 3D desktop effects. But if you are using 3D desktop effects you may have to set this to x11.

Now, if you wish to play multiple sound players (or devices that use sound) at once, then I have read you must make sure all sound apps use the device name alsa or default and NOT hw nor OSS nor plughw:0,0 because these do NOT allow mixing. Hence you must get your players functioning with alsa.
