"appear"?

You shouldn't try to install both, only 1.2. Can I see that "auto
solver pop up"?

"The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release of the
stable 1.2 release series. The 1.2 release series is adding new
features on top of the 1.0 series and is part of the API and
ABI-stable 1.x release series of the GStreamer multimedia framework
that contains new features."

I didn't have time (or a proper computer) to check. But AFAIKT
GStreamer 1.2 is 100% compatible with GStreamer 1.0. What's the
problem?
If the problem is that the Totem package is hardcoding a dependency to
GStreamer == 1.0 then what must be fixed is the Totem package. But
looking at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:13.1/totem
I can't see such a thing.
