Now that we have parsers for most common formats, it would be as efficient to
stop auto-plugging once we have a parser plugged in. Furthermore those parsers
will only set caps and start outputting once they have all/most information.

We would reach the same result (tags/metadata without decoding for formats that
have parsers) and more (extract information for formats that don't have a
parser).

Furthermore it would concentrate all the information/logic into one
single/reused location (the parsers).
