I don't think you'll have any success with Noatun and MP3's. MP3's are a 
problem, as there are issues involved in including MP3 support into some 
distro's.

I use Mhwaveedit, which will play .wav, .ogg, and .mp3's. Admittadly it's 
really an editor, but plays the files well, and will also record stuff.

It's available as source code from.
https://gna.org/projects/mhwaveedit/

to compile it you will need to have, libsndfile-devel, and libsamplerate-devel 
installed. To play MP3's you will also need to install "lame" which you can 
get from either Dag's repo, or Freshrpms in the case of FC5.

Sorry. I can't give you the URL's for Yums sources list, as I use Apt, but 
there are no dependencies for lame so you should have no problems installing 
it if you just DL the rpm's.
