Please report one problem per bug.  You've got three separate issues here that
should be tracked separately.

To fix the first problem, we'd need to add a GStreamer typefind function to
identify Nero data files.  Please open a new bug against GStreamer and attach a
sample file, and if possible provide a link to a format description.

I'm not sure what's happening with the MIDI file you mention, but it sounds
like it's a slightly different file format.  Please open a new bug against
GStreamer, providing output from 'gst-launch -tv filesrc location=file.midi !
decodebin ! fakesink silent=true'.

The utf-16 text file you attached seems to look enough like a layer 1 MPEG
audio file to fool the MPEG audio typefinder, but mpegaudioparse knows better. 
Since this is the problem we actually have some information on, I'm moving this
to GStreamer and retitling appropriately.
