Update MimeType key in the desktop file. This complies with the freedesktop.org shared MIME info database. The following MIME types not registered with IANA are used: application/ram application/vnd.rn-realmedia audio/flac (in addition to audio/x-flac, see (*) below) audio/mp2 (see (**) below) audio/vnd.rn-realaudio video/vnd.rn-realvideo video/webm (*) freedesktop.org changed that from the correct, non-standard type audio/x-flac in v0.80 "for consistency with other xiph.org types not yet registered in IANA" (**) freedesktop.org introduced that in v0.22, not using the correct, non-standard type audio/x-mp2 which was added in v0.60, but only as an alias
