Michael Stahl a5225ba82e avmedia,*: guess the mime type of media files based on file name
.. at least for the most popular types, and do it automatically in
MediaItem::setURL().

This should work in practice in most cases and is much simpler than
adding some type detection or calling into platform dependent avmedia
backends.

Remove the parameter that was only ever set to
"application/vnd.sun.star.media" anyway, the same value that would be
used if it's missing.

Stop using that silly type for everything, only use it when guessing
fails.

In case an ODF document is loaded, it will use the mime type loaded from
the file (see setting of MediaMimeType in SdXMLPluginShapeContext) and
not guess it because that would require updating the entry in
manifest.xml as well.

Audio / video Media Implementation.

Provides per-platform implementations of multimedia functionality. Currently no stream API is provided, only a URI based one, so streaming has to be wrapped around it via temp files.

Also provides (in source/framework/mediacontrol.cxx) an implementation of the graphical media playback control that appears in the toolbar / mediaobject bar when media is selected under the .uno:AVMediaToolBox item.

avmedia / gstreamer

The avmedia component is implementation of manager service defined in offapi/com/sun/star/media/. Radek has added implementation based on gstreamer so that we can add audio and video files into impress presentation on Linux with gstreamer.

The implementation is pretty straightforward, sometimes it has problems when gstreamer installation is incomplete.

In the beginning the media files were not embedded, Thorsten added support for that later.

Future Works

it might be worthwhile to revamp the avmedia UI.
