I use Fluendo's codecs, and hadn't seen this problem, sorry.
The OP may have more luck re-posting to the RPMFusion or ATRPMS mailing list depending on where he got the Gstreamer plugin package.
Yeah. I'll definitely speak to the people at RPMFusion.
Also, is it possible that the MP3 file has DRM? Your android phone probably has a closed source decoder that can handle it.
Can MP3s contain DRM? I didn't think that was possible. But I'm quite prepared to be corrected on that.
I don't think it's technically feasible unless someone encapsulated the mp3 audio in another file container but I'm think it is possible to 'break' the encoding in a way that open source decoders may not be able to handle.
Something similar to how some DVD's are "broken" in a way that commercial players don't seem to care about but PC DVD drives choke on.
That's the only reason I could think of that "file" didn't seem to be able to get the audio properties of one of your mp3 files but not the other.
