I did investigate this and in fact the problem comes from vlc.

The libid3tag library from mad requires zlib so vlc links the plugin with 
"-lz -lid3tag" but it should in fact link the libs in the opposite order 
("-lid3tag -lz") so the linker can resolve the undefined references in 
libid3tag.

I'll fix this.
