Patch to enable preview wma sounds (926 bytes, patch)

Description Funda Wang 2005-03-11 12:56:58 UTC 
Currently, Nautilus can only preview sound files if their mime types begin with 
"audio". But, for some unsure reasons, wma is registered as "video/x-ms-asf".

Maybe following dirty patch could solve this prob.

Comment 2 younker 2005-03-14 02:39:14 UTC 
yes, this patch works for me, 
and I think nautilus should have the ability to preview more audio format files
that gstreamer supported.

Thanks for your bug report!
I don't like the suffix detection code at all. Maybe additionally checking for
the MIME type "image/x-wmf" would be more suitable. The best thing would be to
check for the MS container format and
Comment 4 Christian Neumair 2005-05-13 19:58:11 UTC 
...check whether the detected file has an identical MIME type or the detected
MIME type is a subclass of that container format.
Comment 5 Christian Neumair 2005-05-13 19:59:49 UTC 
Hrm can we somehow distinguish MS video from audio files? This seems to be a mess...
Comment 6 Christian Neumair 2005-10-12 21:53:56 UTC 
Reassigning to Nautilus 2.13.
Comment 7 A. Walton 2008-05-02 10:30:06 UTC 
Closing this obsolete. We do previews through GStreamer now and match WMA mime-types, so if GStreamer has WMA support installed, you should get audio previews.
