I'm reporting this as a 3rd party.
I was contacted via the openSUSE forum with a mp3 playback issue
It seems to be only files from a specific source that are affected
The same files though, play back fine in other popular distros

I was given a copy of a file
Tried playback in Amarok and it was distorted
My solution was to switch the backend in kde settings from gstreamer to 
Xine (phonon-vlc also seems to work OK)

Here is the media info reported to me:
