The only defined key is "song".
Usage:
metadata = shout_metadata_new();
shout_metadata_add(metadata, "song", "my song name");
shout_set_metadata(shout, metadata);
shout_metadata_free(metadata);

The interface was changed to allow more types of dynamic metadata
updates, but so far no extensions on the client or server side have
been made.
