m4a tagging support?

[Brian Nickel]

Michael,

Running out of space isn't an issue, as TagLib has some beautiful
methods to change block sizes. The issue is the devalidation of a box
that contains data offsets. This issue can be overcome by finding the
new size difference and then overwriting the content offset box.
