[Vorbis-dev] [PATCH] Make vorbiscomment escape whitespace characters

[Łukasz Stelmach]

Make "vorbiscomment -e" escape the space (0x20) and tab (0x09)
characters. With this patch in place it is possible to use vorbiscomment
output with the "eval" command in shellscripts like:

    eval `vorbiscomment -e foo.ogg`
    test -z "$ARTIST" && echo Anonymous || echo $ARTIST
