theora - Dec 2005 - tools to edit vorbis/theora/speex comments & icecast server adding arbitrary comments

Hi Mihamina, 

Indeed I'm looking for the same thing. 

I've looked at CMML/Annodex which looks very promising for what it is, but
total overkill (and overly complex) to simply add meta-data (comments) to
arbitrary ogg/theora/vorbis/speex (does speex have different comments then
vorbis?)

Does anyone have any simple C code that can just retreive and set arbitrary
meta-comments in theora/speex/ogg files?

Ideally a python API to do this...

I'll keep messing with CMML, but its so huge and not really designed for
what I want. What if there was something similar @ Xiph that just embeds unified
arbitrary comments into the start of an extra track in an ogg file? Then the
codec's used would no longer be an issue of unifiying. or just make threora
comments compatible with vorbis comments since its not yet so well adopted...?

Also what are the abilities of the icecast2 server for modifying meta-data? Are
only "genre" and "artist" comments preserved, or do any
comments added via the XML configuratoins end up in the streamed files?

Thanks.
B.
