How did you install the rpms?  Did you use apt?  Here's what I would do.
download apt-get from freshrpms.  Use this address.

http://heidelberg.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=19

Download the RPM, not the src.rpm.  Install.  Go to your favorite
commandline.  Change to root, or use sudo...I don't know how you're
configured, and issue the command.

apt-get update

Then, once that completes,

apt-get install synaptic

This will install synaptic on your computer and give you access to sites
like Dag's.  I don't think these guys get enough thanks, so here's a
thnks.  THANKS

Anywho, once you've got Synaptic installed, I would search for gstreamer
and reinstall everything you've got and see if you're missing anything.
The important one you need is called

gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio
