Please report to gme at code.google.com as explained in the other bug

Is there a reason why the NSF plugin should be removed completely? It has no
external dependencies and it might make sense to just lower the rank to
secondary and have the gme rank at primary. Let's continue that in the bug you
filed

shared-mime-info contains the mimetype database but applications need to add
the mimetypes to their .desktop file. For shared-mime-info, if some of the
mimetypes are missing there, take a look at gst-plugins-base/gst/typefind,
should be possible to convert that code into the shared-mime-info xml database.

samples.mplayerhq.hu has some samples and with the help of Google you find lots
of game music files. But I don't know of a central place of test files just for
video game music
