Thanks Cesare Tirabassi, that solved my question.

The ugly one is needed, the bad one seems to be optional. I thought I had everything because I had the 'multiverse' versions, but apparently not. Here is the list of what I have right now and what seems to be essential:

gstreamer0.10-alsa 0.10.10-1ubuntu1
gstreamer0.10-esd 0.10.4-0ubuntu3
gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs 0.10.10-1ubuntu1
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad 0.10.3+cvs20060918-0ubuntu1
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base 0.10.10-1ubuntu1
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-apps 0.10.10-1ubuntu1
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good 0.10.4-0ubuntu3
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly 0.10.4-0ubuntu3
gstreamer0.10-tools 0.10.10-1ubuntu2
gstreamer0.10-x 0.10.10-1ubuntu1
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 0.10.10-1ubuntu1

Until a few days ago Rhythmbox played my mp3's withouth any problem. But since after an automatic update about a week ago, it does no more.
I have a fully patched ubuntu 8.10 which was updated from 8.04 a few months ago.
All other apps that are based on gstreamer still play the mp3's but I prefer Rhythmbox for listening music.
I checked the plugins mentioned above, and they are installed.
