Description PIERRE Benoît 2005-08-04 01:06:28 UTC 
file -i is currently broken: it returns 'audio/x-mod' no matter what the file format is. This break application using the library too (libfile).

confirmed ... file-4.14 outputs audio/x-mod for most things but file-4.13 works fine
Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-08-18 15:27:21 UTC 
fixed with file-4.15
