Description Benjamin Otte (Company) 2003-04-11 11:48:47 UTC 
Vorbis tag names are defined somewhere and there is no support for
arbitrary comments. Each tag must be in the form A=b.
See attached patch.

Comment 2 Ronald Bultje 2003-04-12 14:41:31 UTC 
This patch (the A=b part) actually works around the issue. For
GStreamer, the application is not supposed to know what specific type
of metadata the plugin/file expects. So an app can just set a=b as
metadata, and if the format is supposed to care, then it should set
caps itself.

So the upper part of the patch would have to be removed, and the
bottom part would have to be changed to set the name to capitals and
move that over to vorbis' lib.

do others agree here?
Comment 3 Ronald Bultje 2003-04-12 15:21:54 UTC 
After discussion, only the second part has been applied. I'll leave
this one open for further discussion on who should do
metadata-formatting: app or plugin (plugin imho) and what fields of
metadata we actually support (that needs to be documented).

Comment 5 David Schleef 2003-12-02 01:58:58 UTC 
Can this be closed now that we have tags?
Comment 6 Benjamin Otte (Company) 2003-12-02 11:53:18 UTC 
Yes, it can.
As lonmg as it doesn't need to be fixed in 0.6, but I don't think we will.
