The problem is that openSUSE's k3b package will not contain the mp3 decoder 
plugin even if built with ffmpeg.

For that one, libmad is necessary, which is not available in the official 
repos.

So currently, I am very much against dropping k3b from Packman.

Regarding the question why k3b is not available for 42.1 in Packman, see here:
