           Summary: apev2mux should not put APEv2 tags at beginning of
                    WavPack files
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.36
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good

I have been testing Banshee 2.6.0-2linuxmint1 and found that WavPack files
created from CDs contain APEv2 tags at the beginning of the files. This is
counter to the WavPack specs and causes the files to be unplayable on players
that use FFmpeg (like VLC) and most other software (except Banshee). Players
that use libwavpack directly can play the files because it skips the tags, but
does not recognize the tag data at that location.

Please see section 4.0 of the WavPack format documentation at
http://www.wavpack.com/file_format.txt - here is an excerpt:

"Both the APEv2 tags and/or ID3v1 tags must come at the end of the
WavPack file, with the ID3v1 coming last if both are present."

I have also filed this bug against Banshee, but believe that it is using
apev2mux to place the tags here, so am filing this against GStreamer as well.

Thanks!
