Bug Description
To improve the detection of various media files. It will be nice to rely on the mime-type detection, rather use the file extension.
We may use libmagic or the Qt 5 mime type support.

I have also seen weird decoded audio signals produced by SoundSourceMP3 which might damage output devices. The combination of the dreaded MP3 format in combination with the ancient libmad library for decoding is dangerous.
