Right, the pipeline above is the default one for mp3, provided by
gnome-media, but as it wasn't always shipped in the package it's
possible that you have created one manually.

Check which profile Rhythmbox is set up to use, either through the
preferences or with gconf:

 gconftool-2 -g /apps/rhythmbox/library_preferred_format

Profiles are stored in gconf, you can list them like this:

 gconftool-2 --all-dirs /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/profiles
