It depends a bit on the elements involved.

Most muxers support the GstTagSetter interface, which you can use to set
tags.

In some cases you need to set the tags on the encoder instead (e.g. with
ogg/vorbis/theora).

You can also use the taginject element to set stream-specific tags.
Those should be picked up by the muxer then.

For some kinds of tags (e.g. ID3) you need to add an id3mux element at
the end after the encoder.
