xdg-utils: How to handle audio CDs?

[Jerome Leclanche]

Vincent,

In python-mime, I integrated both defaults.list and mimeinfo.cache:
https://github.com/Adys/python-xdg/blob/master/xdg/actions.py#L119

I remember going through the spec and kind of having to take decisions in
its stead; is the ordering I have reasonable? (See the comment)
