This solution seems to work also (as does switching to the opensuse provided 
packages.)

I have since removed all (3) packages that were "fluendo" based and have run 
into no issues, It seems that the real culprit was "fluendo-mp3" but until 
something doesn't work I will assume that the other (packman provided) 
fluendo packages are unnescessary for my needs.

I am still curious about why gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3 from packman has this 
issue though.
