There is already mp3 support in freshrpms.net for FC4 (all 3 arches!), but
only for the command line (mpg321), beep-media-player (bmp-mp3, the gtk2
fork of xmms, really nice!) and gstreamer (thus also rhythmbox).

I guess you meant "no mp3 support for xmms"... if that was the case, yes I
still need to add it... but I really suggest you just try bmp for now, as
it's in Extras.
