Since all GStreamer based applications seem affected this is rather a problem of the current GStreamer decoder plugins and/or within the GStreamer pipeline.
In the repos the following packages offer Gstreamer decoding support *Both fluendo MP3 packages (why are there two of them?) *gstreamer0.10-plugins ugly *gstreamer-ffmpeg The fluendo plugins seem to be based on the frauenhoffer reference implementation of MP3, the other plugins seem to be compiled against the libmad library. None decoder is compiled against the mpg123 decoder which proves within the mpg123 command line tool that it is actually able to handle the LAME info tag correctly.
