A bit late with the reply. In gstreamer we have a new api called
GstDiscoverer. This delivers the results in a GstStructure which is a
hashtable with differently types slots. GstDiscoverer can run
synchronously and asynchronously and is quite fast. There is a command
line tool included: gst-discoverer-0.10 <mediafile> /
gst-discoverer-0.10 -v <mediafile>. I also hack on a UI toy using that
API in vala - http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ensonic/gst-mediainfo/
