I realized that I could pick anything I wanted as I controled both ends,
so I picked that based on copying and modifying the audio/x-wav line.

Well seeing as the web server is apache running on one of my machines.
I updated the mime.types file...

misbehaving, since I set there mime type on both ends as well.
