Hi,

don't know much about helix nor gstreamer, but I think it's the later
which is the supported multimedia framework.

See http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/jukebox-activity;a=summary for
an example of a media player activity based on gstreamer.

I guess you could bundle an mp3 decoder for gstreamer inside your
activity.

Good luck,

Tomeu
