How does Gnome determine the "type" of a file...

if I remember well, Nautilus relies on the MIME type of the file (as given for exemple by the « file » command, which uses libmagic as Nautilus). If Nautilus fails to detect it, then it relies on the extension file, like Windows.
About your problem, maybe this could help you:
   http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-latest.html
But you'd better interact with upstream to define a new MIME type.
The link you gave me looks like the key to the problem.  I think the audacity installation procedure isn't setting up mime type database correctly.  More exactly, I think it isn't invoking update-mime-database.

Thanks - jon
