The media player quite likely only shows metadata for files that are in the
database already. The filemanager has its own metadata handling, which does not
handle ogg at all.

Slightly off-topic, but related to ogg-support package:
* Instead of adding the ogg-types to the media-player desktop-file, what about
making a copy of the media-player.desktop file (as mediaplayer.ogg.desktop) and
replacing the files there. This makes it independend from eventual updates that
would overwrite the mediaplayer.desktop file.
* Can you also package flac?

Keep up the good work!
