Gstreamer could be an option as well. One of the Wine gsoc projects is
about adding gstreamer support to DirectShow (quartz). It would be
possible to even implement mp3 support using DirectShow.. I don't
think we want to use gstreamer from two places. Adding mp3 support to
gstreamer is easy e.g. download the free fluendo mp3 plugin if your
distribution does not ship with it.
