Hello Guix!

EasyTag hasn't been working for mp3 files and I couldn't work out why for a
long time. I've finally got around to looking into it properly and it turns
the hack with the temporary .pc file I added back then didn't work because
it's missing some fields.

With that fixed though, EasyTag warns you with a popup that id3lib is buggy
and needs patching. It's something about UTF16 being broken:
https://sourceforge.net/p/id3lib/patches/64/, I checked, ArchLinux also
applies the same patch.

WDYT?

  gnu: id3lib: Apply patch for UTF16 writing bug.
  gnu: easytag: Fix mp3 support.
