    It is the file that was sent to me in an email from Microsoft Teams
    as the voice mail after the missed phonecall. Under VLC it plays but
    produces no audio, so I was just trying "Videos" to see if it did
    actually have audio in it that VLC couldn't play, which is when I
    got this issue. The person that made the phone call has told me
    there was actually no audio in the file, he didn't actually leave a
    message, he just put down his headphones and forgot to disconnect
    the phone call. But that not withstanding, I still shouldn't have
    got either of these errors, the decoder error nor the opengl error,
    but what is more significant is why does Totem behave differently
    under X11 to the way it behaves under Wayland?
    
    regards,
