MP3 Support?

I was poking around and found out something interesting: I am able to play
MP3 files in K3B (by adding an MP3 file to an Audio CD project and hitting
play from within the list)...

I checked the Plugins section of the K3B settings and it says it is using
the FFMpeg decoding plugin version 0.91...

In Amarok - Xine Engine is the *only* engine available...

Strange!
