[maemo-developers] How to add ogg to the supported codecs/containers list?

The metalayer crawler has a configuration file
/usr/share/libmetalayer/metadata_lib.conf which looks like the following:

--- clip ---
# libmetalayer configuration

#### extractors ####

mp3 libmtext_mp3
amr libmtext_amr
--- clip ---

What do those mean exactly? Does it add all files with mp3 extension to
the /home/user/.meta_storage regardless of the mime type ? Looks like it..

What does the next column mean?

The built-in media player says "unsupported file format" very easily for
oggs but for some reason not always. I've been able to play oggs with
vorbis and oggs with theora/vorbis with the MP, but not always. So where
does the MP get the list of supported audio/video codecs? Does the
.desktop file affect this situation somehow (exluding the fact that FM
knows which app supports which mime type)?

It seems that the MP doesn't list all files in .meta_storage to the
"Library" it has. Does it add only files with audio/* or video/* as the
mime type from the .meta_storage to the "Library"?
