I have a portable MP3 player (Sansa e250) that can't handle ID3 v2.4 but is
able to handle well ID3 1.0 and ID3 2.3. I seems that gstreamer is only able to
encode ID3 1.0 and ID3 2.4, I find ID3 1.0 to be quite limited (no support for
UNICODE) and in my case ID3 2.4 is not usable.

I have written a GST plugin that's able to render ID3 2.3 tags, the tags are
rendered through the library id3 (http://id3lib.sourceforge.net/). I have made
some rudimentary tests and the plugin works fine. I'm able to encode my
personal MP3 collection and the plugin handles very well the encoding for
french, spanish and slovak CD tracks. The plugin was tested with both
gst-launch and sound-juicer.

Can some one please review the plugin and give me some feedback?

I'm sure that other people could be interested in such plugin.

(A patch will follow)
