The notes suggest that MP3 patent issues are a factor so I guessed
that's why it is excluded from the tarball

When building with rpmbuild the tarball is usually not unpacked
manually, hence my own proposed patch looks in /tmp for the mp3 code -
it could just as easily use your the patch from Debian as an input
though, as long as it can be found in /tmp or some other predefined
location.
