For what types is aliasing actually useful?
If it's just for the "x-" part we could put a little logic in the
BMimeType implementation that automatically kicks out the x- if it
couldn't find a type and retry without it - at least the usage of "x-"
is standardized.
Of course, that wouldn't help (but neither does your solution) if
SoundPlay or other apps would write the x- type into the file directly
(checking and preferring a known type by default might be a bit slow
there).
Bye,
Axel.
