well.. we have a bug in ID3-tags writing code.
I'll try to make a working example tomorrow..

Sometimes you take an mp3 without tags, edit some of its ID3-info and
find, that file is no more played, and is reported as a corrupted..

1.  anything that crashes/locks zinf besides playing corrupted or
    non-valid files.
2.  a feature doesn't function and if a minor feature, cant be worked
    around.
3.  preference options loss or resetting.

1. id3-tag writing code causes files to be seen as "corrupted"
2. win32 misc plugin causes crash when loading many ogg files

RE: the TODO list

I'm still getting the odd strange crashes when playing OGG files (Win32).
It only happens when switching to the next song in a playlist.  It also
seems to be some kind of race condition between threads, as it changes when
(and exactly how) I step through with the debugger.

The crash actually happens in the bowels of the Vorbis libraries (vf->vi->ci
is NULL), but I can watch it get allocated and set.  Later it's NULL.  Of
course a hardware data breakpoint would nab it, but when I add one, the bug
goes away....
sigh....

I've looked at it for a couple hours but I'm having a hell of a time
figuring it out....I'll get it eventually.

That's the only real bug I'm coming up against.
