Edit: The specific example below is fixed, but there might be other false positives.
Actual Result:
<imageinfo><ii mediatype="VIDEO"/></imageinfo>
Expected Result:
<imageinfo><ii mediatype="AUDIO"/></imageinfo>
Note that TMH returns the correct value for the file in question:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:President_Obama_Speaks_to_the_Muslim_World_from_Cairo,_Egypt_%28audio%29.ogg
Wow is the code to determine media type ever hacky...
We determine if the media type is VIDEO, by seeing if the word theora appears in the first 256 bytes of the file (MimeMagic::getMediaType). In this case, the file begins with:

So the vorbis comment that the encoder is ffmpeg2theora-0.23 triggers MediaWiki to think the file is a video as the word "theora" appears at the beginning of the file.
Change 130966 had a related patch set uploaded by Brian Wolff:
Less false positives for MEDIATYPE_VIDEO
Just as an aside, on newer ffmepeg2theora, this probably won't happen as the first 255 bytes will be taken up by ogg skeleton.

Change 130966 merged by jenkins-bot:

It was merged last month but did not yet hit commons?

It was merged on June 29, which means that it will be deployed to WMF wikis with 1.24wmf12. That version went out to Commons yesterday; see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.24/Roadmap for the full schedule.

Also it should be noted, it will only apply to new files (or files that you ?action=purge)
