Bug#417606: vorbis-tools: vorbiscomment manpage is unclear about clearing tags

[Brice Goglin]

Package: vorbis-tools
Version: 1.1.1-11
Severity: minor

Hi,

I use vorbiscomment as a OGG backend to manipulate audio tags in my lltag tool.
Under some circumstances, lltag might ask vorbiscomment to clear all tags from
a file. vorbiscomment ends up being called as:
	vorbiscomment -w -q foo.ogg
and instead of replacing current tags with nothing, it waits until we enter
something and hit ctrl-d.

I can't find any documentation about this behavior in the manpage. So it would
be cool to add it.

Moreover, it would be cool to also document how to remove all tags from an OGG
file. I understand it is not vey useful, but in case it is possible, it would be
good to know. So far, the 'best' I found would be
	vorbiscomment -w -q foo.ogg -t 'DUMMY='
not very nice...

Thanks,
Brice
