Just to clarify - in the Tracker  jargon you would query a the service
"audio" by adding the type attribute to the query element:

<request>
  <query type="audio">
      <fullText>
          <string>hendrix</string>
     </fullText>
  </query>
</request>

As noted in another mail I don't see any problem defaulting to type="all"
(this could be used for debugging both apps and search engines). With a
little documentation people will know to avoid it generally, no?

Cheers,
Mikkel
