Used by several high-profile applications: audacity, minidlna, mpd, easytag

Upstream is dead. All of them are fixed by the following two patches from Debian:
https://sources.debian.org/patches/libid3tag/0.15.1b-13/10_utf16.dpatch/
https://sources.debian.org/patches/libid3tag/0.15.1b-13/11_unknown_encoding.dpatch/

Looking at the PKGBUILD we apply the following patches:

10_utf16.diff
11_unknown_encoding.diff
CVE-2008-2109.patch

These were probably taken from the Debian package (https://sources.debian.org/patches/libid3tag/0.15.1b-13/). They fix all of the above issues. 11_unknown_encoding.diff also fixes CVE-2008-2109 in another way than CVE-2008-2109.patch, so this could probably be dropped. It was an initial patch, which has not been merged upstream, is no longer needed and has been dropped from the Debian package.
