 *
 * Important: if you do not supply a merge function the implication will be
 * that there can only be one single value for this tag in a tag list and
 * any additional values will silently be discarded when being added (unless
 * #GST_TAG_MERGE_REPLACE, #GST_TAG_MERGE_REPLACE_ALL, or
 * #GST_TAG_MERGE_PREPEND is used as merge mode, in which case the new
 * value will replace the old one in the list).
 *
 * The merge function will be called from gst_tag_list_copy_value() when
 * it is required that one or more values for a tag be condensed into
 * one single value. This may happen from gst_tag_list_get_string(),
 * gst_tag_list_get_int(), gst_tag_list_get_double() etc. What will happen
 * exactly in that case depends on how the tag was registered and if a
