The real reason is that they're not including MP3 support by default due to possible legal conflicts, namely software patents ;) They're available through you as multimedia packs and come with the warning that they should only be used if "legal in your jurisdiction" or something to that effect. If you are running 9.3 and want that support check out this thread in the suse forums http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2005-Apr/0665.html
