Err...

  <mime-type type="audio/x-flac">
    <comment>FLAC audio</comment>
    <comment xml:lang="en_GB">FLAC audio</comment>
    <glob pattern="*.flac"/>
  </mime-type>

That's top-level, not a wildcard. What version of shared-mime-info?

I looked at a flac in a hex-editor and it starts with a

?/x-ogg is only an alias, with varying ?s.

I still think it's either something with your files, or with your
shared-mime-info version.
