My totem flags are as follows:

<snip>
# emerge -pv totem

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-video/totem-1.4.2-r1  USE="dbus dvd gnome mad
mpeg ogg vorbis xine xv -a52 -debug -firefox -flac -lirc -nsplugin
-nvtv -theora" 0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB
</snip>

I am able to play the video with sound (by cutting and pasting the
totem mms line from your e-mail). Off the top of my head, I'd look in
your make.conf file to see if you've enabled USE="win32codecs" as
well. After adding that to your use flags, try:

# emerge -DNuva world

and see if it picks it up. You may require installing the xine-lib (as
you see from my totem flags, I've got support for xine). Looking at
xine-lib, my USE flags are:

<snip>
# emerge -pv xine-lib

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.2-r2  USE="X alsa asf dvd esd
