Have you tried to (temporarily) uninstall MPlayer, to see if it really is the 
problem?
I don't really see how MPlayer would have any influence on audacious.

Audacious still works fine here (13.2/64bit as well), and also MPlayer can 
play MP3 files here without problems:
 rpm -q MPlayer
MPlayer-1.1.1.r37379-1.1.x86_64
gmplayer xxx.mp3

Maybe you should check whether you really have the current libmad0 from 
Packman installed...
rpm -qi libmad0

You don't have the VLC repo in your repo list by chance?
This also contains a libmad0 and other stuff that might be incompatible with 
Packman.
