Bug Description
Impact:
When I double click a .aup file it will by default open in Firefox. I can manually right click it and go to "open with", but it should be opening in Audacity.
Also, when one right clicks the file, then Properties -> Open With, Audacity is not listed as an option.
Part 1: Audacity cannot be configured as default application for .aup files (via Properties -> Open With in Nautilus)
Part 2: Audacity is not the default application for .aup files
[TESTCASE for part 1]
1) Open Nautilus
2) Right click on an .aup file, then Properties -> Open With
3) Select Audacity as default
[TESTCASE for part 2]
1) Open Nautilus
2) Right click on an .aup file, then Properties -> Open With -> Reset
3) Audacity should be the default
Regression potential:
the audacity files could keep opening with the wrong handler

You describe two issues:
1) Audacity cannot be configured as default application for .aup files (via Properties -> Open With in Nautilus)
2) Audacity is not the default application for .aup files
Point one can be fixed in audacity by fixing the desktop file. This bug will be fixed in the coming days when my next upload 2.0.1~rc1-2 of Audacity to Debian unstable is synced to quantal. I uploaded the same fix to precise-proposed (patch attached).
Point two can be fixed by adding 'application/ x-audacity- project= audacity. desktop' to /usr/share/ applications/ defaults. list which needs to be done in desktop-file-utils.
