Consistency is cool. However, non-unicode compatible encodings are
still widely used. For example the v1 id3tag dosen't impose any
encoding rules, and is usually encoded in locale-dependent encodings
(mp_msg_charset instead of MSG_CHARSET). How do we handle this? First
convert from mp_msg_charset to MSG_CHARSET in demuxer and then convert
back in mp_msg(), or just print mojibake out and tell the user to
update to v2 id3tags that must use UTF-8?
