Why 'audio/flac' hasn't been added to _mimes?

The reason might be that this MIME type is a native encapsulation format, details https://wiki.xiph.org/Talk:MIME_Types_and_File_Extensions#.flac_-_application.2Fflac

But you've already done the similar thing for ogg MIME types:

Wouldn't it be a consistent to add 'audio/flac' here https://bitbucket.org/lazka/mutagen/src/90787db5195a5ef9c2e27b92d78ed94fb1fbb186/mutagen/flac.py?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default#flac.py-657 ?

Sure. 74b2f4fa6ff28bca4e3a7f6b65ba

Do you have a use case for the provided mime types?

Basically, I wanted to add audio/flac MIME type because some browsers set it as a content-type when send a file to a server side. And, for example, if you want to validate the file on the server side and make sure that the file has flac mime type, you can't do that by simply using mutagen since that mime type wasn't included into the _mimes list.
But thanks to you it's possible now.
