Hi Kevin,

after installing

gnome-mplayer-0.9.8-1.20091021svn1582.fc11.i586.rpm and
gnome-mplayer-common-0.9.8-1.20091021svn1582.fc11.i586.rpm

from http://belegdol.fedorapeople.org/gnome-mplayer/, all mp3 files are 
played properly with constant volume level.

Thank you very much for your advice.
