so you have installed TWO different libgstreamer-0_10 packages (marked with 
<==)
and I think the banshee-1-backend is linked against the 0.10.19 version of 
gstreamer. As banshee is not a packman package I can't recreate it with a 
libsgstreamer-0.10.19 linkage.

(just a sidenote: you need the *-devel packages only for compiling other 
packages, otherwise you can deinstall them savely)

I guess you are missing the gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-* packages from packman.
You can also try to play other formats (ogg, wav, ..) to see if only mp3 is 
related.

so with the given list on new installations, you can go back step by step to 
find out which package breaks your system.

christine is a simple fat-free player, you can find it also in the packman 
repository.

perhaps, the pulseaudio stuff needs AFAIK some extra setups for sound (I don't 
use it, so I can't help here). If you don't know how to setup pulseaudio, try 
to uninstall the pulseaudio stuff (but don't force anything, as some apps 
needs libpulse*)
