I've updated the file_extension_from_url() function (that is responsible
for extracting the extension from a given URL) to check for known-good
extensions (video, audio, torrent) and if none is found, try to recurse
into the query string and find a known-good extension there.
This should provide a better extension detection algorithm. The code is
in gPodder's SVN trunk, if you are currently not working with the SVN
version, have a look at http://gpodder.berlios.de/running-from-svn.html
or wait for the next release.
I've also tested the new code with the feed you mentioned and the ".mp4"
extension is detected correctly now.
