Strigi as of now does index audio files. It does extract data like the
artist, file size etc. It is not as good as taglib but it suffices for
testing out the QueryMaker.

The reason why I want to work on NepomukCollection and QueryMaker first is,
I am confident of being done with the Nepomuk integration rather quickly,
which will give me enough time to improve Strigi.

I am expecting Strigi to take a bit more time.
