Bug Description

The category "Sound & Video" is one of the richest categories in the software centre / center, but it is not divided in subcategories, and thus lists in the same page:
- video playback software
- video editing software
- audio playback software
- audio editing software (manipulation, conversion)
- audio production software (synthesis, effects...)
- multimedia playback software
- burning and image creation software
- audio taggers
- screencast software
- codecs
- subtitle software
- accessories
- DJ and VJ tools
- Text To Speech (TTS) software
etc.

This makes it difficult to find the software one is looking for.

There must be a way to create a few sub-categories to make app search easier in USC.

This is already specified in the official Software center specification (the requested subcategories differ a bit) [1], but implementing it is blocked on bug #57418.
