This is handled through categories. Of course Rhythmbox doesn't play
multiple types of media yet afaik. It only does music. :)

If the categories in the .desktop file for the app, and the .menu file
match up, then the app shows up in that menu, unless the implementation
is doing something wrong/weird/different. If you read the menu spec, you
will see how the categories stuff works.
