I got the latest code from CVS (and confirmed by hand that some of these 
changes were present).  As expected is rebuilt the database due to the 
XML format number being increased.

(As an aside, the album art went a bit mad; My guess is it was trying to 
display art for the song currently being loaded into the database.  I 
have not been able to recreate this).

The new XML has <mb-trackid></mb-trackid> fields but they are all empty, 
even for a few Ogg Vorbis files I know to have MusicBrainz tags.

For example, vorbiscomment output:

ALBUM=The Bends
ARTIST=Radiohead
COMMENT=
DATE=1995-03-13
GENRE=Rock
MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMARTIST=Radiohead
MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMARTISTID=a74b1b7f-71a5-4011-9441-d0b5e4122711
MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMARTISTSORTNAME=Radiohead
MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID=eca1307e-affa-4900-99a0-bf37659543ba

TITLE=(Nice Dream)

TRACKNUMBER=6
TRACKTOTAL=12

Has anyone else tried this with Ogg files (rather than mp3 files)?

Is there anything simple I can do to help debug this?  e.g. run some 
gstreamer debug command to see how it reads the tags.
