Move bug back to Amarok.

After some investigation it turns out that apparently Amarok's mimetype
handling is insufficient.

In
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/commit/?id=295aa94ca96906714e54f04a448dc5a94dda0e74
the mimtype audio/x-flac was renamed to audio/flac and changed to use
audio/x-flac as alias only. Now, since Amarok lists flac files with the xine
backend (which returns both of those mimetypes as supported), but does not with
gstreamer (which only lists x-flac as supported), I gather that Amarok does not
correctly handle aliases for mimetypes.
