 * @image_data_len: the length of the encoded image data at @image_data
 * @image_type: type of the image, or #GST_TAG_IMAGE_TYPE_UNDEFINED. Pass
 *     #GST_TAG_IMAGE_TYPE_NONE if no image type should be set at all (e.g.
 *     for preview images)
 *
 * Helper function for tag-reading plugins to create a #GstSample suitable to
 * add to a #GstTagList as an image tag (such as #GST_TAG_IMAGE or
 * #GST_TAG_PREVIEW_IMAGE) from the encoded image data and an (optional) image
 * type.
 *
 * Background: cover art and other images in tags are usually stored as a
 * blob of binary image data, often accompanied by a MIME type or some other
 * content type string (e.g. 'png', 'jpeg', 'jpg'). Sometimes there is also an
 * 'image type' to indicate what kind of image this is (e.g. front cover,
 * back cover, artist, etc.). The image data may also be an URI to the image
 * rather than the image itself.
 *
 * In GStreamer, image tags are #GstSample<!-- -->s containing the raw image
 * data, with the sample caps describing the content type of the image
 * (e.g. image/jpeg, image/png, text/uri-list). The sample info may contain
 * an additional 'image-type' field of #GST_TYPE_TAG_IMAGE_TYPE to describe
 * the type of image (front cover, back cover etc.). #GST_TAG_PREVIEW_IMAGE
 * tags should not carry an image type, their type is already indicated via
 * the special tag name.
 *
 * This function will do various checks and typefind the encoded image
 * data (we can't trust the declared mime type).
 *
 * Returns: a newly-allocated image sample for use in tag lists, or NULL
