You'll want to pass the media type as a part of the input metadata you
pass to the parsing process, like this:

    Metadata metadata = new Metadata():
    metadata.set(Metadata.CONTENT_TYPE, knownType);

    Parser parser = new AutoDetectParser();
    parser.parse(..., metadata, ...);

At current pace I expect it to be out sometime in this quarter.
