This may be of help:

I did some tinkering with ASF files -- and figured that much out. There is
an extended content header which has freeform tags in UTF-16, which look
like:
W.M./.G.e.n.r.e.=.E.l.e.c.t.r.o.n.i.c.
(where . is \0x0)
Anyway, with this information, somebody should be able to implement clean
ASF container support -- both read/write for TagLib.
