does MIME spec have framework support?

[Kristof Vansant]

I was thinking about beepmp with a gstreamer backend.

Now this would mean that which files beepmp can play depends on
gstreamer. So lets say gstreamer has codecs for wav and ogg,
beepmp can play these. Interresting could be to let gstreamer register
the files it can play (audio) and then let beepmp just say inherent
gstreamer audio part. Because on install it is impossible for beepmp to
know what it will support. 

So on audio codec install a record is added to gstreamer.

This would be the same for video (could be interresting for example
totem with gstreamer backend)

you could do the same for programmes using xine as backend.

Sorry for bringing it up, if this is already implemented :)
