I'm looking for the API proposal of accessing metadata of media files.   For example, I'll want to access metadata of audio files for to get  it's title, artists, etc.  Or, if I need to get the shooting time of photo, I'll want to get it  from JPEG's EXIF header.   Is there API proposal which satisfies these case?

There's no proposal at this time; the plan is to wait until (a) browsers implement the existing spec to a high level of quality, and (b) the cross-origin mechanism issue is settled (as part of XHR2's development).
