You need to make sure that the taglib library (which provides
id3v2mux) is installed at the time you compile gst-plugins-good.  You
can tell if your gst-plugins-good is compiled with taglib by running:

gst-inspect id3v2mux

if you get nothing, then you don't have taglib installed and you need
to recompile gst-plugins-good with taglib support.  I don't know how
that sort thing works in gentoo...

Did you try retagging OGG files?  (Again you need vorbistag support).
