>Environment:
Redhat 7.1 with kernel upgraded to 2.4.14
>Description:
Vorbis OGG files are not recognised or given the correct MIME type by default .

Instead, enabling the mime_magic_module and adding the following to the magic file corrects the problem.

0 string    OggS    audio/x-ogg   
>How-To-Repeat:
Try downloading an ogg file from a default Apache install.  The browser will probably mess up the way in which it tries to render the file since the reported mime type will be text/plain.
>Fix:
Many other file types are recognised by default - it should be simple to add ogg to the list.
