If I go this way, I think there are 2 problems:
1. no tags if rhtyhmbox is not used / not launched / not having *all*
music files of your HDD in its library
2. no tags for video files

If I go this way I could do:
1. test if a file has xattrs
2. if not, spawn asynchronously totem-video-indexer for each file and
fill nautilus columns using the asynchronous methods

Anyway both approaches have a problem: if the user changes the tags,
they are not automatically written to xattrs of course.
This might mean that the best way is to not cache tags in xattrs...
