Applications that simply go by the extension name are doing it wrong and 
should be fixed. As it has already be pointed out there are better ways.

I have two ogg files on my (KDE) desktop now. video.ogg and audio.ogg

Both have the ogg extension, but if I click on video.ogg it correctly opens in 
my choosen video player (kaffeine). audio.ogg opens correctly in amarok, my 
audio player.
