Dear maintainer the current totem video player dosn't allow to change
the audio tack when playing a dvd under Debian testing/sid [14/sid].
This affects trixie also. This used to work in the past (under
bookworm?).

To reproduce start a video dvd with more than one audio track. It's not
possible to switch audio in the menu [the same dvd will work with VLC.
It's possible to change audio].
I think this is a regression.

log (there was nothing releated):
'** (org.gnome.Totem:329396): WARNING **: 16:45:20.427: The `mpeg2dec`
plugin is deprecated and will be removed in the next release cycle.
`avdec_mpeg2video` from gst-libav should be used instead'

Marc
