           Summary: converting vorbis comments to GstTagLists is lossy
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base

Similar to bug 334375 (which is for ID3 tags) converting vorbis comments to a
GstTagList is lossy, because GStreamer doesn't know about all the things that
vorbis does, and can't because they can contain arbitrary comments.

An approach similar to the "forward binary blobs" idea for ID3 would work for
vorbis comments, except it would be much simplet as vorbis comments are always
text of the form "key=value".
