Hi,

I have been encoding some files using flac 1.2.1 and adding meta tags.
ogg123 shows the tags as follows:

+-----------
andrew at skamandros~/Desktop$ ogg123 ftgws_12042009.flac 

Audio Device:   Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) output

Playing: ftgws_12042009.flac
FLAC stream: 16 bits, 2 channel, 44100 Hz
Title: For the God Who Sings 12-04-2009
Album: ABC Classic FM Radio Live Streams
Artist: Stephen Watkins
Comment: Encoded with flac 1.2.1
+---------

but MPlayer shows none of these tags:

+-----------

MPlayer SVN-r29219-4.2.4 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team

Have I missed something when I compiled MPlayer or does the current
MPlayer not actually read flac tags?

Thanks for your trouble,

Andrew
