k3b can't find mp3 decoder

Since upgrading my AMD64 system to feisty k3b has been unhappy.  When
it starts up it complains:
Mp3 Audio Decoder plugin not found.
K3b could not load or find the Mp3 decoder plugin. This means that you
will not be able to create Audio CDs from Mp3 files. Many Linux
distributions do not include Mp3 support for legal reasons.
Solution: To enable Mp3 support, please install the MAD Mp3 decoding
library as well as the K3b MAD Mp3 decoder plugin (the latter may
already be installed but not functional due to the missing libmad).
Some distributions allow installation of Mp3 support via an online
update tool (i.e. SuSE's YOU).

According to adept, I have all the "mad" packages installed.  That is
mostly just libmad0, but also gstreamer0.8-mad.  I even have
libmad0-dev, though that shouldn't make any difference.

I can't see any k3b mad decoder plugin listed anywhere.

Clues?  What do I need to do to burn mp3s to a CD?

Thanks,

Michael
