Trying to play back a simple MP4 movie with H.264 video and AAC audio,
does not work at all. Only displays an error.

This is a known problem with clutter-gst since a long time. There's some
work done upstream on improving that and people had it working, but I
don't know if it's merged or part of any clutter-gst release yet.

I found that running

$ gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file://<location of the file> video-sink=cluttersink audio-filter=scaletempo flags=0x17

which is the pipeline handled by totem[1] but with no de-interlace and no
color balance by software, it works fairly OK.

Sadly, it is not straightforward to set this flags in totem.

I cooked a hackish patch for this use-case, which modifies the playbin
(gst-plugins-base1.0 source package), enabling the flags setting through the
environment variable GST_PLAYBIN_FLAGS

Then you could run the

$ GST_PLAYBIN_FLAG=0x17 totem <location of the file>
