           Summary: [gstvorbistag] Retrieve Ogg/Vorbis cover art as image
                    metadata

     GNOME version: Unversioned Enhancement
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


There is no fixed, official standard for embedding cover art in Ogg/Vorbis
files. However, a de-facto standard has emerged among both Free and proprietary
software vendors for using the COVERART and COVERARTMIME comments to store
cover art metadata. The COVERART comment contains the raw binary data, encoded
in Base64. The optional COVERARTMIME comment contains the MIME-type of the
contained image, or "-->" if the image data is a URI to the actual image. It
would be nice if this data was made available through the standard GStreamer
image tag mechanism, rather than manually parsing extended comments.
