Bug#686762: gnome-mplayer: Don't claim to support audio/midi

Package: gnome-mplayer
Version: 1.0.6-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi Aron,

from the discussion in [1] I learned that mplayer doesn't support to play midi
files and according to [2] one needs to add xmms plugins to mplayer to get
support. So I propose to drop audio/midi from the list of supported mime types
in gnome-mplayer.desktop as the default configuration clearly doesn't support
it.

Please let me know what you think of this. If you're okay with this change I'll
add the bug numbers to the changelog and commit it.

Cheers
