Already fixed. The listing path now reads text fields through id3lib's
charset-aware accessor and converts them via iconv to the current
locale's charset (nl_langinfo(CODESET)), so -l on a UTF-8 locale emits
UTF-8 instead of forcing Latin-1. Fixed by the charset-conversion patch
NMU'd in 0.1.12-2.1. I'm closing this bug report.
