Many if not most MIME type parsers don't do a great job with ';'
parameters. Mapping a union of multiple dozens of types (audio/wav)
in the Content-type header down to an appropriate default subtype
seems reasonable to me. (Plus, the fact that the values in question
somehow ended up as unadorned hexadecimal seems like possible trouble.)
The RIFF header should (SHOULD? MUST?) take precidence over whatever
audio/wav parameters the MIME type parser comes up with, I hope.
Cheers,
James
