I find my way out by modifying the xfce menu file:

    <Menu>
        <Name>Multimedia</Name>
        <!-- Directory>xfce-multimedia.directory</Directory -->
	<Menu>
	    <Name>Audio</Name>
    	    <Include>
        	<Category>Audio</Category>
    	    </Include>
	    <Exclude>
		<Category>HamRadio</Category>
		<Category>Midi</Category>
		<Category>Mixer</Category>
		<Category>Sequencer</Category>
		<Category>AudioVideoEditing</Category>
		<Category>Player</Category>
		<Category>Recorder</Category>
	    </Exclude>
	    <Menu>
		<Name>HamRadio</Name>
    		<Include>
    		    <Category>HamRadio</Category>
    		</Include>
	    </Menu>
	    <Menu>
		<Name>Midi</Name>
    		<Include>
    		    <Category>Midi</Category>
    		</Include>
	    </Menu>
	    <Menu>
		<Name>Mixer</Name>
    		<Include>
    		    <Category>Mixer</Category>
    		</Include>
	    </Menu>
	    <Menu>
		<Name>Sequencer</Name>
    		<Include>
    		    <Category>Sequencer</Category>
    		</Include>
	    </Menu>
	    <Menu>
		<Name>AudioVideoEditing</Name>
    		<Include>
    		    <Category>AudioVideoEditing</Category>
    		</Include>
	    </Menu>
	    <Menu>
		<Name>Player</Name>
    		<Include>
    		    <Category>Player</Category>
    		</Include>
	    </Menu>
	    <Menu>
		<Name>Recorder</Name>
    		<Include>
    		    <Category>Recorder</Category>
    		</Include>
	    </Menu>
	</Menu>
	<Menu>
	    <Name>Video</Name>
	    <Include>
                <Category>Video</Category>
    	    </Include>
	</Menu>
	<Menu>
	    <Name>AudioVideo></Name>
	    <Include>
                <Category>AudioVideo</Category>
	    </Include>
	</Menu>
    </Menu>

Any comment will be appreciated.
