Just for your info: The issue was not posted to the OpenSUSE forums, only here on Packman mailinglist. It was named "Amarok & mp3" and Carl Fletcher was very kind and tried the file himself.
I would like to add: Having thought about the issue further I am about 99% sure that it must have been introduced with one of the latest gstreamer patches. I am very sure I at least tried one of the files after downloading and it worked in Amarok...
