Package: mplayer-gui
Verison: 2:1.3.0-4

Hi.

I noticed mplayer-gui do not list the same set of MIME types as vlc in
its desktop file.  This causes the graphical file manager in the various
desktops to not suggest mplayer-gui to play various audio and video
formats when the user click on a media file.

Here is the list of MIME types present in the vlc desktop file but
missing in the mplayer-gui one.  I compare with the vlc desktop file
because it is the player with the most supported MIME types according to
<URL: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/PlayerSupport >.  The
MIME types marked (x) are official MIME types registered with the IANA
MIME registry, and the ones marked (*) are MIME types returned by file
--mime-type.

Please consider adding these MIME types to the mplayer-gui.desktop file:

application/sdp (x) 
application/vnd.ms-asf (x) 
application/x-quicktimeplayer (x) 
application/xspf+xml (x)

correct?
