No, nor in ~/.xsession-errors.  I also enabled all messages via kdebugdialog.  

I did get something with:
# cat play.py
import gst, sys
bin = gst.element_factory_make("playbin")
bin.set_property("uri", "file://" + sys.argv[1])
bin.set_state(gst.STATE_PLAYING)
# python play.py ~/preview.mp3
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)
** Message: don't know how to handle audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1, 
mpegaudioversion=(int)1, layer=(int)3, rate=(int)44100, channels=(int)2, 
parsed=(boolean)true

Which looked very suspicious:
# pkg info -l gstreamer-plugins-mp3
gstreamer-plugins-mp3-0.10.0_1 owns the following files:

So, the package is empty!!!  But it turns out it is a meta package that points 
to gstreamer-plugins-mad-mp3 and gstreamer-plugins-fluendo-mp3 which were not 
installed.  

Upon investigation I have determined that it was due to the changeover to the 
new options framework: many of my port options files are still in the old 
format and it appears things got mixed up.  

Thanks for your help.  I'll do a rebuild soonish (of all ports) that should 
fix things.  

Regards
