           Summary: [ID3v2] comment frame extraction/writing doesn't retain
                    descriptions
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: t.i.m at zen.co.uk
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


The problem:

ID3v2 comment tags consist of 3 parts:
 - comment description string
 - language code
 - the comment string


The language code is not that important, but it would be nice if we could
retain the description/comment association somehow, so the frames can be
rewritten properly again when retagging. In particular iTunes seems to store
information that way.

Maybe we can use some generic key=value tag for this (which we'll also need to
retain unknown vorbis/ape tags, see bug #347091).
