Description

Summary of the bug:
How to reproduce:

% ffprobe Portugal.m4a
ffprobe version 0.11.2 Copyright (c) 2007-2012 the FFmpeg developers
  built on Oct 10 2012 18:26:07 with gcc 4.7.1

Running ffprobe on alac encoded files (.m4a), only returns the creation_date metadata. Album, artist, title, etc. are not returned.

The mp4v2 tool returns those correctly. Also, AtomicParsley and Mp3tag read the metadata correctly.

Here are the outputs of ffprobe and mp4v2:

Output from git head, it still doesn't read tags correctly:
