How about using the phonon-backend-vlc instead then?

Apparently everything needed is there. Comparing to the packages
installed here on my Kubuntu system, I also have

gstreamer0.10-alsa
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio

Especially the ffmpeg and/or fluendo-mp3 packages are needed, but I
don't know if those are also split up in Arch.
