When music player is working, preview on mouse-over of mp3 files should be disabled. Lets say, you open folder with mp3 files. Clicking on some of the files will open song and play it in Totem (or some player), but when you move your cursor over some other mp3 file is starts playing that song along with the first one. Then you get one annoying sound.
Okay, so the behavior of this just to be clear:
---The last application to check the option takes complete control.
---A signal should be sent to pause streaming multimedia that will accept the signal. Otherwise just mute is audio channel from Pulse if possible.
---Just mute everything without a pause (ex. someone on Pidgin comes online) until the movie or the playlist is over.
The reason I suggest this, is because I want to listen to Dark Side of the Moon without having to worry about muting Pidgin, or watch _any_ movie without having to worry about muting/pausing anything else.
All I want is a simple streamlining of processes that don't call for active attention by allowing you to not have to be nearly as active in beginning the passive activity.
Sometimes I have to listen to a lot of audio files and delete some of them. It is quite annoying when I want to delete one because I have to look for the file in nautilus in order to delete it. And Totem does not display the filename.

Parfois je dois écouter un tas de fichiers audio et en effacer certains. C'est assez ennuyeux quand je veux en effacer un car je dois débusquer le fichier en question dans nautilus pour pouvoir l'effacer. De plus Totem, à la lecture, n'affiche pas le nom du fichier.
In totem, the sidebar button which collapses the side menu has a > to indicate the hiding motion, however when it is "hidden", the > should become a < to represent the opposite motion, but it doesn't. Only a tiny thing for a programmer to change, but it would make the player a tiny bit better, so why not ?
Update: This has been submitted via Launchpad, someone has sent it upstream and triaged it. Thanks to the users who sent me to Launchpad.
Update: This has gone to the Gnome community, but they don't like the idea, if you do like this idea, please tell them at:
Update: It currently looks like the arrow is going to be removed altogether, which although not perfect is better than the current arrangement. The reason given was that the arrow looks like a secondary "play" button, which may lead to confusion (never thought of this myself). (Thanks to Pedro + Bastion)
Update: Eureka ! This has been released as a patch which removes the arrow. I'm so proud :D
Thanks
This is a huge one I think. I dual boot windows and ubuntu only because no player can play MMS:// streams which are password protected. I tried with totem and the mms:// streams play but it doesn't show a box in which I can type up a password instead of that it shows me a box which says access denied or something like this. I don't really think that a box in which users like me can enter their accounts for the protected stream is so much of a big deal just someone has to try to do it. I made a little bit of research and I read that mms:// is not a windows extention which means that nothing can stop you from doing this little upgrade. Thank you in advice..
