[maemo-developers] xdg-mime missing: is there a way to find out the default application for a given mime type

[From: Felipe Crochik]

How can I find out what is the default application associated to a file type
(or preferably a mime type)?

 

I found out that, at least, on ubuntu you can use xdg-mime for that.

 

I would like to either find out the application so I can execute it directly
or find a way to just have "the system" figure out and handle a file and/or
a url. In other words I want to be able to tell "the system" to: open
thisfile.mp3 or play http://anywhere/video.mp4
