Amarok+gstreamer on F9 Preview

I use the Amarok music player. The default install only includes the
Xine engine, and there are no codecs for proprietary formats (surprise).
I dl'ed the Fluendo MP3 codec but it's for gstreamer.

Almost all my music is in MP3 or AAL format.

The usual alternative repos (Livna, Freshrpms etc.) are not yet
available for F9, naturally enough.

Is there a way to use the Fluendo codec with Amarok? More to the point,
how do I get Amarok to use the gstreamer engine? This used to work on
F8. I've installed the devel packages for gstreamer but it doesn't make
any difference.
