Audacious can no longer display the ID3 tags encoded in Russian (where CP1251) is de-facto standard.
Tried following combinations in Preferences-
* Automatic encoding detector for: None; Fallback encoding: cp1251
* Automatic encoding detector for: Russian; Fallback encoding: None
* Automatic encoding detector for: Russian; Fallback encoding: cp1251
In every case, the playlist displays question marks followed by "(invalid UTF-8)". Files have
Tried on both v2.3 and v2.4 files with fields encoded in cp1251. If I convert tags to UTF-8, audacious can display tags correctly. However, this would break compatibility with "other OS". Previous version of Audacious (in Kubuntu 8.04) used to work okay with such files.
