Currently there is no way to change tags with GStreamer directly. The 0.6 
series will never have that functionality, but it will definitely be in the 0.8 
release - whenever that will be. I am currently working on adding that 
functionality to GStreamer. I can already change tags on mp3s and I keep my 
tags when transcoding files on my local copy.

The only question is for how long Rhythmbox will stay without this 
functionality, which mostly depends on when we Rhythmbox guys decide to switch 
to GStreamer 0.7.
But I think your work would just end in being a duplication.
