Categorise applications as "Audio" or "Video" in their .desktop entries
To make it easy for p:d users to browse applications, we need to split the monolithic "AudioVideo" category (shown in the menu as "Multimedia"). As discussed in bug #486070 we tweaked the xfce menu to split the group into the "Audio" and "Video" categories (these are still standard categories [1]). Now we need to ensure the applications' .desktop files use the appropriate categories.

Whiteboard
OK I've committed patches in stock/chroot-
"Local" patches:
* MPlayer patch (removing "Audio") is for local sorting, wouldn't make sense upstream.
The other patches could go upstream; once the released packages are updated my patches would be removed from broth.
Some notes of things sent upstream:
* Subtitle Editor upstream accepted the patch: https:/
* jack rack upstream: https:/
* Jamin upstream: https:/
* vmpk has already been done upstream separately of us: http://
OTHER THINGS:
* The "Audio" menu is now relatively large. Things are in their logical place and the menu is not horrendous though.
* I see KiCad in its own separate "Development" submenu. Seems a bit odd to have that on its own. Should it go somewhere else?
