It seems the failure is to enable rpmfusion _after_ atrpms.

Plus, it's a mistake to install atrpms' "libmad" explicitly instead of
letting Yum (or other depsolvers) pull in whatever provides the
libmad.so.0 library. At atrpms' it's the "libmad0" package.

If one starts with rpmfusion, one gets libmad-0.15.1b-13.fc12, and
atrpms' libmad-0.15.1b-4.fc14 loses version comparison: 4< 13

[On the contrary, if one starts with atrpms, dependencies on libmad.so.0
pull in the "libmad0" package, which conflicts with rpmfusion's libmad
pkg. atrpms' libmad package contains no important library.]

At rpmfusion, nothing requires the "libmad" package name:

$ repoquery --exactdeps --whatrequires libmad
libmad-0:0.15.1b-13.fc12.i586
libmad-devel-0:0.15.1b-13.fc12.i586

So, if nothing at atrpms explicitly requires "libmad0" either, one can
stick to rpmfusion's libmad package without ever getting atrpms' libmad0
package. Anything that wants libmad.so.0 will be happy with whatever
provides that library.

What you say does not make sense re libmad0. To wit:

# rpm -q libmad0
libmad0-0.15.1b-4.fc14.i686
# rpm -e libmad0-0.15.1b-4.fc14.i686

Not what I've asked you to do: "rpm -e libmad"
What you tried to do is to erase a package that contains a needed
shared library. That won't work, of course.

I did not manually and explicitly install libmad0.

No, but libmad.

Yum resolved the dependencies of the packages you see above.

Then please show the results of

repoquery --exactdeps --whatrequires libmad

NOT libmad0 (!) and return to what I've written above. The theory is
that if you have just libmad0 and not libmad, you don't have get a conflict.
