If you do

  gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=/path/to/foo.mp3 ! mad ! audioconvert !
audioresample ! alsasink

(which is roughly the equivalent to mpg321) it will ignore the 'junk' it
doesn't recognise as well.

However, if decodebin/playbin (anything with typefinding really) come into
play, it will correctly find the tag before decoding any files, and require the
tag to be stripped generically for another level of typefinding (which would
then determine the type to be mpeg/audio). It's a tradeoff that's being made
here for something as generic and complex (handling audio/video/subtitles and
multiple streams of each etc.) as GStreamer. Of course we could just disable
the apetag typefinding stuff, but then we'd most likely never port it because
no one would really notice that it's missing ;-)
