Are there actual magic-enabled mime-types to add here?  I'd rather not 
associate kaboodle with a bunch of Windows-esque *.[A-Za-z]{1-3} format 
file types, and get a bunch of bug reports about why one file or another 
doesn't get played, because the windows-style handling was too coarse for 
xine.

If the new mime-types can be more specific, then I think it'd be a good 
thing.

If it's maintained, I see no reason to remove it.

If it's unmaintained, I see no reason to keep it in the release.
