What do you mean it "plays"?
What does vlc say the codecs are?
What does the "file" command say the file is?
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?
I agree with Tim that the text/html error is suspicious.
When did you get the opengl error? Right when you opened the application or when you tried to play the file?
I recorded a new voice mail and sent the subsequent email to this email address.
The attachment is named "audio.mp3".
When I click on the attachment and from the context menu select the default player which is "Videos" the application gets an Opengl initialisation error (this is under Wayland) straight away.
If from the context menu I select "mpv Media Player" that application plays the audio file correctly.
If I select "VLC" from the context menu the audio file plays but does not play properly, VLC sends the audio to the left speaker only with a very low volume. I have to increase the VLC audio to it max of 125% and turn the headphones volume up to its max of 150% to make the audio being played out the left speaker easily heard.
If I go into VLC's Audio preferences and set the "Stereo audio output mode" to "Mono" or "Dolby Surround" (my headphones have the capability of simulating 7.1 surround sound) or "Stereo" instead of the default of unset, then the audio plays properly albeit the volume is still low, much lower than with "mpv Media Player".
VLC will only tell me the file codec data while the audio is playing or paused, if I wait until the audio has finished playing VLC doesn't show any information on what the Codec is. VLC is telling me the codec is "MPEG Audio layer 1/2(mpga), Type: Audio, Channels: Mono, Sample rate: 16000 Hz, Bits per sample: 32, Bitrate: 24 kb/s, and, because I'm playing the file from the email attachment it tells me the file location is /tmp/pid-4265/audo-4.mp3 (this is not the name of the attachment, the attachment is audio.mp3). Just further checking on the location data VLC is showing, I shut VLC down and opened the attachment in VLC again, and VLC told me the location was /tmp/pid-4265/audio-5.mp3, so it looks like every time the file is "extracted" from the email to be played (Fedora, KDE or whatever is doing the extract) it is being named differently each time.

Steve
