This the exact information I was hoping to get. I think it's important
for people to realize it. Thanks.

I've read about this :-)

Are plugins for such a thing entirely/mostly kernel-space?

I mean, the power of FUSE is being in user-space...
If there was an API to write a id3 plugin it propably be more
beneficial.

Well, it's plugins. If someone writes a kernelspace id3 plugin,
someone else could write a kernelspace plugin with a userspace
supplied configuration.
