Just a cautionary note on this, ID3 tags that gstreamer doesn't know
about (e.g. TCOM for composer) will be lost in the tag editing
process, see this bug for discussion on possible fixes:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334375

Also id3mux (the plugin that does the writing) writes to ID3v2.4.0
format which many Linux tag editing tools (e.g tagtool, easytag and
kid3) don't yet read.

That's why the feature is still marked *experimental*. ;-) Just FYI.
