Just wondering, if you do the dnf equivalent of "yum search all mp3"
do you get a list of the packages that actually provide MP3 support?
(As opposed to taking the shotgun approach of installing every likely
codec that you come across.)
I just ran dnf search all mp3 and got a lot of hits, but no gstreamer
plugings. I added a pipe to less so I could scroll around in the
output. I think the library that is essential for decoding mp3s is
libmad, for encoding, it's lame.
So, installing the additional gstreamer plugins that made this work,
probably pulled libmad in as a dependency.
