When ffmpeg transcodes CBC radio stream .wmv files, some metadata from the original media is retained, such as 'title' (all lowercase). When asx2ogg adds a 'TITLE' tag (all uppercase) obtained from the stream wrapper via vorbiscomment, the track ends up with two tags for the track title which are inconsistent with each other. Unfortunately, in the particular case of these streams, the original stream's tags are useless, e.g. '01.wav', and furthermore, some players (like vlc) will show *both* titles in the playlist. When such inconsistencies exist, they should be resolved, either by deciding automatically which set of tags (the metadata from the stream or the metadata from the media files) are considered "good", and/or by offering the user a choice.
