Livna at the moment.
and in livna the mplayer package (what else ^_^).
I've just send a mail to the package maintainers and a few of the
mplayer development team to include this mime change in there .desktop
file. it is something that has to be "fixed" upstream anyway.

But let me get this right and take mplayer as a example. Fedora isn't
allowed to add mplayer to there repo because of patent stuff in the
usa but i am allowed to fill a bug against mplayer on
bugzilla.redhat.com? that's strange! very good but strange.
