Is anybody actually going to use that? Sounds in legacy KDE 3 apps are all Ogg (Vorbis) or WAV (uncompressed).

That's certainly true of kdegames3, but bug 141601 would seem to indicate that there was use for this at one point. For example, you can't even 'artsplay' an MP3 file. Granted, arts isn't used much anymore, but at this point I see no reason not to enable it.

Well, one reason is that it increases the dependencies of this legacy compatibility library.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle. Changing version to '28'.
it's fixed in 1.5.10-39
