if I look at your installed gstreamer010-* packages, I would propose as a 
first step to update them to the newest available packages.

e.g. gstreamer010-plugins-ugly is available as 0.10.6 and you have 0.10.5 
installed. I don't know which installer you use, but check all gstreamer010 
packman-packages and update them.

you could also try another player to check if it is a banshee related problem.
exaile, elisa or christine use all gstreamer010 as backend. If they are able 
to play mp3, you can be sure it's a banshee problem.
Try christine first, it's a lightweight player.

all packages available via packman :)
