It looks like it's returned by KMimeType::findByFileContent() which is
a part of kdelibs.  I'm on FC11 and the kdelibs version I have
installed is kdelibs-4.3.1-3.fc11.i586.  It looks like x-vorbis+ogg is
defined in a file /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml which
is provided by the shared-mime-info package on my system.

I have no idea what's right or not of course!
