So I removed kagu, and then mogg, and got this:

# apt-get remove  mogg

Building dependency tree... Done

Then I reinstalled mogg, and got this:

Unpacking mogg (from .../apt/archives/mogg_0.2_all.deb) ...
Setting up mogg (0.2) ...

After the re-install, I've got /usr/share/mime/audio/x-vorbis.xml, which is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mime-type xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"; type="audio/x-vorbis">
<!--Created automatically by update-mime-database. DO NOT EDIT!-->
  <comment>OGG audio</comment>
</mime-type>

The 'globs' file does have "audio/x-vorbis:*.ogg". However, the
categories file, in category "audio", has "application/ogg" but NOT
"audio/x-vorbis". Maybe that's the problem? Throwing caution to the
wind, I recklessly and irresponsibly violated the "DO NOT EDIT!"
instruction and added "audio/x-vorbis" by hand. However, the media
player still doesn't find the oggs. Bugger. There's also a "magic" file,
but that's in some sort of binary format that even I don't want to mess
with.

Regards,
Steve
