Hello Andreas, the menu section is defined by the menu subpolicy which is part of debian-policy and not of the menu package. Reassigning. Looking at the menu subpolicy, I believe that both vlc and bangarang belong to Applications/Video. I do not think a section Applications/Multimedia would be useful, unless we remove both Applications/Video and Applications/Sound. Almost all programs that are able to deal with video can deal with sound since movie usually include sound component, so I think there is some expectation that programs in Applications/Video will do sound. At worse a program can define two menu entries one in Sound and one in Video, maybe with a different command.
