[vorbis-dev] Return of the Son of MIME type

[Jack Moffitt]

i think the issue was that Nautilus was coded to do certain things when
audio/blah was hit.  ie, it enabled a set of funcationality.

personally, while there is a problem on the vorbis side, this is
definately also a limitation in nautilus if i've understood it
correctly.  there shold be some kind of "detect if this mime type has
audio playback cabability" and if it has audio, but not graphics, then
trigger said playback functionality.
