I'd go for a shell script (probably the same one symlinked). Something like:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -f ~/.local/etc/sysconfig/totem ] ; then
. ~/.local/etc/sysconfig/totem
else if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/totem ] ; then
. /etc/sysconfig/totem
fi
# Default to GStreamer if there's no config
if [ -z $TOTEM_BACKEND ] ; then
TOTEM_BACKEND=gstreamer
fi
# Default to GStreamer if the backend is invalid
if [ $TOTEM_BACKEND != "xine" -a $TOTEM_BACKEND != "gstreamer" ] ; then
TOTEM_BACKEND=gstreamer
fi
BIN=$0
shift
exec $BIN-$TOTEM_BACKEND $*
Obviously, not tested, but this would allow to switch between backends. This
would also need some checking whether or not the backend is there.
I'm not interested in users being able to select one backend for each of the 4
binaries, it would just create more confusion.
Cheers
