 As for point 2, I don't know how that should work either. I don't
 think it's media-specific, but mediatype-specific. E.g. audio samples
 (I think mp3 uses samples here, too), video frames.
 
 As for point 3: yes.

+Doesn't the MIME type itself describe whether the stream info is in
+encoded/decoded form ?
+
+Also, Wingo started adding a 'buffer-frames' property to float
+audio---the number of audio frames in a buffer (a frame is a set of
+samples, one from each channel). This is for synchronization with JACK
+networks, but it's a pretty good idea anyway. We could add the same
+property to int audio, seems like this would take care of data
+boundaries in the raw audio formats. The others, though ... :)
+
+As for integrating the document into the official docs, should the
+mimetypes file go in the App Developer's Manual or the Plugin Writer's
+Guide ? I'd vote for the PWG, it already has a brief description of
+common MIME types, and application developers shouldn't have to deal
+too much with internally used MIME types like audio/x-raw-int.
