I had to add the livna repository to yum:
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release4.rpm

Then I added the packages from this list that I didn't already have
installed:

leaving me with:

[230] /home/magnusg $ rpm -qa|grep gstreamer
gstreamer-devel-0.8.10-1
gstreamer-plugins-0.8.8-9
gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.8.7-1.2.fc4.rf
gstreamer-0.8.10-1
gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio-0.8.11-0.lvn.2.4
gstreamer-plugins-extra-video-0.8.11-0.lvn.2.4
gstreamer-tools-0.8.10-1

Just duplicate what works for someone else... maybe what I should have
done in the first place :)  Some of these packages might not be
necessary for Rhythmbox to play mp3s, but the combination works
nonetheless!

Thanks, Craig!
