------- Comment #1 from Tim-Philipp Müller  2008-01-03 18:29 UTC -------
It is impossible to correctly detect the encoding of ID3v1 tags. audacious
probably assumes that encoding == current locale, so it probably just gets
lucky here.

This works fine for me:

 $ GST_TAG_ENCODING=CP1250 gst-launch-0.10 -t playbin
uri=file:///home/tpm/samples/507074-vidis_vidis_cp1250_tags.mp3 

FOUND TAG      : found by element "id3demux0".
           title: Vidíš, vidíš
          artist: Bratři Ebenové
           album: Já na tom dělám
    track number: 0

There isn't really anything better we can do here (that works in the general
case), so what you really need/want is either an option in the totem
preferences dialog to set the preferred encoding for these things, or even a
GNOME desktop wide setting for this (since you'll have the same issue in
rhythmbox, exaile, banshee, tracker/beagle etc.).

Not sure where this belongs, so moving over to the gnome-control-center folks
for now, maybe they've got some more ideas.

Note: this is relevant to a whole bunch of formats/inputs, not only ID3v1 tags.
