* Registers a new tag type for the use with GStreamer's type system. If a type
* with that name is already registered, that one is used.
* The old registration may have used a different type however. So don't rely
* on your supplied values.
*
* Important: if you do not supply a merge function the implication will be
* that there can only be one single value for this tag in a tag list and
* any additional values will silenty be discarded when being added (unless
* #GST_TAG_MERGE_REPLACE, #GST_TAG_MERGE_REPLACE_ALL, or
* #GST_TAG_MERGE_PREPEND is used as merge mode, in which case the new
* value will replace the old one in the list).
*
* The merge function will be called from gst_tag_list_copy_value() when
* it is required that one or more values for a tag be condensed into
* one single value. This may happen from gst_tag_list_get_string(),
* gst_tag_list_get_int(), gst_tag_list_get_double() etc. What will happen
* exactly in that case depends on how the tag was registered and if a
* merge function was supplied and if so which one.
*
* Two default merge functions are provided: gst_tag_merge_use_first() and
* gst_tag_merge_strings_with_commas().
