file doesn't recognize AVF video container

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff]

AVF is modified AVI container. The only difference is the first 4 bytes: they're 'AVF0' instead of 'RIFF' in AVI. A sample video in AVF can be found at http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/vidvid/2009_08_25_21_07_59_ch3.avf
Would somebody add support of AVF to file, please?

This is fixed upstream in GStreamer plugins good 0.10.25

From the release notes:

Sorry, my mistake. Wrong bug report.

Please ignore comment #2.

Confirmed in Oneiric release.

Nautilus can't recognize it either. Marking shared-mime-info affected.
