I initially reported this issue in the discussion here

Hi
Thanks for all your effort on mediainfo and thanks for taking the time to read this question.

Some files that I use mediainfo for are .eps (encapsulated post script) artwork files
But mediainfo finds something in the file that makes it 'think' that the file is contains audio

Is there any way to avoid this? I would be interested in a solution that would either
1. recognize the file as an image (tiff)
2. or report that the file is not recognized at all

Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
Sean
