Thanks! That fixed MP3 support for me. I still have ogg in the 
.is_audio_player file and I'm transferring files now, so I cannot test 
if Ogg is in by default, too, but I hope so.
It would be nice if Banshee would somehow recommend looking at the 
gstreamer plugins when detecting a N900 without MP3 in my opinion. Shall 
I simply file a wish about that or do you want to discuss it here?
