Replying again to myself.

It seems that if I remove the *.ogg from the mime file, the metalayer
crawler does get the proper mime type for the ogg audios
(audio/x-vorbis+ogg) and videos (video/x-theora+ogg) and the MP seems to
be able to play the files from the Library. Still no artist/etc info..

But now the FM says "Unable to recognise file type of: filename.ogg"
even though the details button shows the correct mime type for the file
and the MP's desktop file has the exact same mimetype. Does the FM only
know to how start apps by the extension?

Metalayer crawler adds "Theora" as the codec for the video file. I
wonder where that comes from? For the vorbis audio the codec field is
empty. The word "Theora" does not exist in the mime file.
