The reason for this bug being open is this: GStreamer should not have mimetypes
or caps that discribe the same format in two different ways. So it is important
that every file can be identified as _either_ quicktime _or_ m4a.
This is to avoid issues people get when they write plugins for the quicktime
mimetype and then wondering why m4a files are not processed with this or vice
versa. I did quite some work to ensure this doesn't happen in the
video/x-raw-rgb mimetype.

So I'll rephrase the question: Are we sure we want to differentiate between
these two formats and are we sure we can differentiate between these two formats?

If so, close the bug.
If not, keep it open until one of these is gone.

(Inventing a mimetype just to make work for the RB guys easier doesn't sound
like a good idea to me after all ;)
