What does it tell you? I have some long lasting issues with gstreamer on my
laptop (on which I use ALSA), so I can't test anything gstreamer related
properly. When I added my gstreamer-mp3 plugin, rhythmbox started
"playing", although I had no sound. I've had success feedback from quite a
few people, though.
Is your rhythmbox compiled with libid3tag support, meaning it at least
indexes mp3 files? If not, recompile it with it (seth's package is actually
Red Hat's slightly modified in which I included a 0/1 option for that) or
just try this package :

Note that there is also a xine-enabled rhythmbox in the "rhythmbox-xine"
directory at the location above.
