           Summary: add a GST_TAG which can store a time, not just a date
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.30
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net

The GST_TAG_DATE tag can report a date read from a media file's metadata.  Some
media files (including QuickTime and AVI files) can contain metadata with the
actual time that media was recorded.  Since GST_TAG_DATE can report only a
date, there's currently no way that GStreamer can report an actual time, which
would be useful for some applications.

I propose that we add a tag called GST_TAG_TIME which holds a GTimeVal or a
time_t.  Demuxers can use this tag to report the exact time when a media stream
was recorded.
