Comment (by stippi):

 The new patch looks mostly fine. The only problem is the _IsMediaFile().
 In principle it's a good idea, but there are media file MIME types other
 than video/* and audio/*, for example application/ogg, but there are
 others. MediaPlayer does something similar, but it also looks for its own
 supported types for a fall back. At least the user can then force
 MediaPlayer to consider a file as supported regardless. In the case of
 MediaConverter, I would keep the old mechanism of trying to parse the file
 regardless of type. I don't know where you saw the delay... if this
 happens when the files are added to the list, it could be a solution to
 delay the sniffing to until the file is converted. What do you think?
