One of the nice things about XML is that it is eXtensible. So, for example, Apple defined some special "itunes" tags in addition to the basic RSS ones, which suit their purposes. http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatson/podcasts/specs.html#rss It might make sense for you to use standard podcast RSS, but with the metadata embedded e.g. as RDFa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDFa . The CC website http://creativecommons.org/license , for example, generates a HTML fragment for you with such metadata embedded - you could put that into the feed items, no problem. I don't know which software could make use of that information...
