12 totem is a movie player for the GNOME desktop. Through use of the xine
13 backend many popular file and streaming formats are supported includ‐
14 ing: MPEG audio and video (MP3/MPV), Ogg, AVI, ASF, MOV, WMV, Quick‐
15 time, and more. Playing of DVD and VCD media is usually possible if
16 you have the appropriate drive. Although primarily intended as a movie
17 player, totem can also play many audio formats.
