Then there would be a tagbin, that similar to decodebin does a typefind and then
plugs the right tagread element. It might plug a demuxer as a fallback solution.
For optimal performance typefind and tagread could share the list of already
peeked buffers.
Still it would be nice to reuse code from demuxers/tag-filters.

* 1st phase: get tag-data that are directly embedded in the data
