You may have to install gstreamer plugins. I would just ditch gstreamer for xine. Amarok can use the xine engine and thus play more media types.

gstreamer-plugins are already installed.

So did you try using xine as the output plugin? Some distros have extra gstreamer plugins (not packaged with gstreamer-plugins), so also take a look into that.

Which version of gstreamer are you using? I think I ran into a similar problem and ended up downgrading to version 0.8.6 you might try that.
