Package: menu
Version: 2.1.42
Severity: normal

Hi, 


I'm here by proposing to add a new category to the menu called Applications/Multimedia or FreeDesktop.org conform Applications/AudioVideo as some of the shipped applications with debian o not only comply to the current category they are in. 
For examble, vlc is in the category Applications/Viewers and bangarang is in the category Applications/Sounds although both are able to play videos as well as music and show pictures. For this reason it is only understandable to add the new category called either Applications/Multimedia or Applications/AudioVideo . 

Sincerely,

Andreas Marschke.
