As Thiago mentioned, this doesn't work very well. You'll need mime-types for all the other possible codecs that can go into an Ogg container, plus deal with containers that contain multiple streams. And then repeat this for all the other containers. I think the "have backends report multiple mimetypes" idea is an elegant solution.
