I'm having issues trying to get MP3 playback capability on my Arch x86 - Xfce4 install. I have all of the gstreamer plugins installed and my sound card is configured properly (I can listen to audio in swiftfox), but Banshee Audacious and Totem will not play MP3 files. Has anyone seen a situation like mine? I have not found one after taking some time to search these forums. Thanks in advanced for any help.

I just double checked... I have both mad and lame.

[root@celestary wengophone-ng-svn]# pacman -Qs MP3
local/lame 3.97-1
An MP3 encoder and graphical frame analyzer
local/mpg321 0.2.10-2
A commandline mp3 player
local/python-eyed3 0.6.12-1
A Python module and program for processing information about mp3 files
local/ripperx 2.7.0-1
GTK program to rip and encode mp3 files
Here it works perfectly. libmad and lame should be sufficient.
OGG media plays flawlessly?

I don't have any OGG media to attempt to play all my music files are MP3. However music on websites such as myspace work fine and I have all system sounds.

So it's no problem with the sound server. Which application do you use in order to playback *.mp3-files?
You might install mpg321 or mpg123 and try it out (command line: mpg321 /path/to.file).

ok I have sound with mpg123. I would like to have it with banshee though...

MP3 decoding seems fine, so you have configured banshee the wrong way I assume.

banshee uses gstreamer, im guessing you are missing a gstreamer package.

He said he had installed them all. These two are crucial.
extra/gstreamer0.10-mad 0.10.5-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
GStreamer MP3 mad plugin
extra/gstreamer0.10-lame 0.10.5-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
GStreamer lame MP3 plugin

Hi Mr.chaosgeisterchen thanks. I got mad/lame and gstreamer-bad and ugly plug ins but banshee did not play mp3. It requires gstreamer0.10-lame plug in and worked for me.
