"Binary package hint: totem

Totem/gstreamer displays ID3 tags info when playing MP3 files...
But it does not autodetect correct character set of those ID3 tags nor it
have any support to let user choose character set in Options dialog.
...
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/7871666/divka_s_perlami.mp3
mp3 with cp1250 coded id3 tag (3.8 MiB, audio/mpeg)

I use Feisty, latest updates.
I am attaching an MP3 example (free redistribution and use is allowed).
The ID3 tag is encoded in windows-1250 codepage.

Totem expect ID3 tag in UTF-8, so it shows it incorrectly:

Title: Dívka s perlami ve vlasech
Artist: Aleš Brichta
Album: Best of (Prostě úžasný)

In Windows (czech localization, codepage 1250)
and also e.g. in Audacious 1.2.2 / Gentoo Linux
with CP1250 codepage set the info is shown correctly:

Title: Dí­vka s perlami ve vlasech
Artist: Aleš Brichta
Album: Best of (Prostě úžasný)"
