Audacious can no longer display the ID3 tags encoded in Russian (where CP1251) 
is de-facto standard.
Tried following combinations in Preferences->Playlist:
* Automatic encoding detector for: None; Fallback encoding: cp1251
* Automatic encoding detector for: Russian; Fallback encoding: None
* Automatic encoding detector for: Russian; Fallback encoding: cp1251

In every case, the playlist displays question marks followed by
"(invalid UTF-8)". Files have

Tried on both v2.3 and v2.4 files with fields encoded in cp1251. If I
