Well, until I saw your new message I was going to tell you that you need
gstreamer-plugins-mp3 from livna.org.  However the message that you are
receiving now is due to a bad interaction between your sound card, alsa,
and gstreamer.  According to alsa, this problem has been fixed in
gstreamer. Earlier today Colin Walters, Redhat's maintainer for
gstreamer, announced that he was going to release updated packages. 
Actually I just looked and they're available now at: 

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/2/i386/

If no problems are found, they should be released as official updates in
4 to 5 days. Personally I'm gonna try them now :) I'll post a new thread
if it works.  There's been quite a few people affected by this.
