You can do this by using the lower lever id3_tag_query interface.  The
fact is that V2 tags can occur at all points in a file so you need to
be prepared to call id3_tag_query whenever you find non-MP3-frame data.
id3_tag_query will tell you how long the tag is.

IIRC unstream indended the id3_file interface to hide the fact that
multiple tags may exist.  If you want to access individual tags you
can use id3_tag_query (on the end of the file for V1 and the beginning
for V2).

If you don't want to modify your program to use the id3_tag_query
interface then we can concider patching the debian version, but this
is never very satisfactory.  Its always better to get this kind of thing
accepted upstream.

Now this we should certainly include.  I'm not sure why upstream doesn't
do this already.  I can only guess that he wasn't aware that many such
files exist.  I have to admit I have never come accross such a tag.
However, if several users have had problems I suggest we take this patch.
