Yes.  I believe 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/cctools/cctagutils/ would be the 
place to add support for other formats (currently only mp3 is supported 
for embedding), assuming Python code is useful.

We'd certainly use any contributions in future versions of CC Publisher.

Of course Python wrappers can easily be created for anything that needs 
to be implemented in C.
