Ok, I've just removed gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 and gstreamer0.10 -fluendo-mpegdemux just for testing. Playing mp3 and/or a shutcast stream seems to require about half amount of CPU than before removing those packages, however I think ithis CPU usage (about 6-8%) remains too high (on a 1.7GHz P4 CPU, ok not the newest one, though of course ...).
