xmms2 (and conky) extra tags patch
Submitted by: ashtophet
Description: I've found myself switching back to QuodLibet to get proper info from my tagged classical music files. Last weeks I've been using a small patch which adds six custom tags (performer, composer, conductor, opus, part and originaldate). Until it's elegantly solved by xmms2 developers, and hoping that someone may find it useful, I've decided to post it here shamelessly.
More info: It also includes a conky patch to be able to use those tags on your conkyrc (i.e. $xmms2_opus, $xmms2_performer, etc.). Applies cleanly against xmms2 0.7 "DrNo" and latest stable conky (Aug. 09). It patches flac.c, vorbis_common/common.c and xmms_medialib.h. Under the "It Works For Me, Use It At Your Own Risk(TM)" motto.
