So the basic question is (see bug #156937) whether we want a general mime type
for all of these similar formats (if so we should probably change the media
type to application/x-iso or application/x-quicktime or so) or not. The answer
to this probably depends also on whether there is a real need to plug different
demuxers depending on the exact type.

Doing all this differentiation just to be able to easily distinguish between
audio and video files isn't worth the hassle and lack of robustness IMHO (but
can always be overridden by custom typefinders that do that of course in case
anyone feels really strongly that this is required).
