TagLib doesn't have explicit support for streams, but a lot of its 
features could be used on streams.  For instance, if you wanted to read 
an ID3v2 tag you could subclass ID3v2::Tag and reimplement the 
constructor / read() (they're both very short functions) and it would work.

This list is fine for those sorts of questions.
