Register Speex MIME Types and File Extensions

The player currently handles the Speex file types very well, and I would like it to also register their MIME types. The Speex MIME type is "audio/x-speex" and its file extension is "spx".

Currently I have to rename my Speex files to Ogg files, and use Ogg MIME type ("application/ogg") to get them to play in web pages using the VLC plug-in. Since the player already handles the files well, it would be great if they recognized the default file extensions and MIME types for Speex also. Technically, Speex is contained in an Ogg wrapper, so the workaround I use is OK, but supporting them both ways would be even better.

For more information on speex and its MIME types, see http://www.speex.org.

I am hoping that this is a relatively easy change, since the player already fully supports the format. Thanks!

VLC doesn't recognize V_THEORA in mkv either.
