I'm going to help you to get gst-fsl-plugin installed on your rootfs, 
although, I must say you that the mp3 encoder and mp3 decoder provided 
by gst-fsl-plugin are not accelerated by VPU (VPU is video only).

It does have some hardware improvments, but it's only code optimization 
based on ARM instructions.

If you're using virtual/kernel from meta-fsl-arm, please use:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-imx"

instead.

If "linux" point to your own kernel, please, make sure you have ported 
all IPU related code.

I think the kernel does not match. Could you, please, double check?
