Those should be audio/AMR and audio/AMR-WB. They're both in totem.

We don't play .swf files.

Added

That's from:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4337.txt
"Initial Object Descriptor". Never seen files like this, and I don't
know whether we support them.

This is from:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-singer-mpeg4-ip-00
and it looks like it's supposed to be handled through an SDP file. Not
sure we want the mux codetable as the entry point.

Added, and as an alias to application/vnd.rn-realmedia in shared-mime-
info.

Added with the video version above.

All added

Added along with the alias.

> audio/mp3  
> audio/mpg  
> audio/opus  

Added.

> audio/scpls  

Added along with the alias.

I don't think we support those, and the first two should be added to
shared-mime-info beforehand if they're real mime-types.

We don't play data from music players or audio CDs.

They're all correct.

Let me know if you have particular questions about those, after
checking the totem and shared-mime-info repository logs beforehand.
