application/ogg is a parent mimetype because its ambiguous (is it video 
or music?)

Fortunately as tracker uses xdgmime, it should split these out into 
either  audio/foo+ogg or video/foo+ogg mime subtypes. Nautilus also uses 
Xdgmime and you can see the mimetype by right click properties - you can 
see it distinguishes between audio only and video oggs.

see the comments in link for more details:

Try a tracker search for "Audio" - it should return all ogg music files 
but not video ones (unless the word audio is used in the name/path or 
embedded tag in the video file)
