Bug Description
Ubuntu's file type determiner parses mp3, other media files and returns "plain text document". This means that:
- it will open with the associated editor for plain text documents, i.e. gedit
- changing the default association from the Properties dialog to Totem will change association for text files too
- you can't do the mouse-over audio preview trick in desktop/nautilus as it's supposedly "only for audio files".
Ubuntu Karmic Beta
GNOME 2.28.0

Note: file type determiner also classifies other files, like PNG files and MIDI files as text files.
Some of my H.264/AVC mp4 files are unthumbnailed, "text files", while three of them are recognized and thumbnailed.
