Rhythmbox doesn't play ogg through DLNA MediaPlayer

[brentmh]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

When using the DLNA (UPnP) plugin for rhythmbox I noticed that it would only play mp3's, not ogg's. Note: this is only when using rhythmbox as the player. When used as the source the ogg's work if the player supports them.

I believe this is due to the initialization of the SinkProtocolInfo in the RhythmBox player object of the upnp_coherence plugin where only 'audio/mpeg' is listed as a supported mimetype.

I've attached a patch that adds 'application/ogg' to this list.

Note that this problem seems to apply for the copy of the coherence plugin in upstream (Gnome) rhythmbox sources, but no longer in the coherence plugin's SVN, where this seems to have been fixed, along with many other formats. as can be seen in : http://coherence.beebits.net/browser/trunk/Coherence/misc/Rhythmbox-Plugin/upnp_coherence/MediaPlayer.py
