Have to say that they seem fine for me - can you provide more details
maybe?

Well, you sort of hit the nail on the head there.  PackMan.  The same
issues that mean you need to use a third party build of AmaroK apply to
Banshee.  Now, what you can do, since you're using PackMan anyway is use
their gstreamer010-* packages and the Banshee packages from the Build
Service (either the Banshee project or GNOME:Community) and you should
be good to go.

See my following thoughts on the issue:

The new version of slab, in Factory, seems to be less of a hog but it
still doesn't have the Beagle integration of KickOff.

Yo!  Plus the whole GNOME team.
