Give users the option to play it.  Player reads the headers and then
catalogs all files in GEOB frames.  Users would have the option of playing
these additional files through a menu system.  Bundling of additional audio
and video content would be fantastic.

If I run into an multimedia MIME type while playing back an MP3, what am I
supposed to do?  Play the video instead?  I'm just not understanding the
use case here.
