After upgrading to gnome 2.6 I decided to play a flac file in rhythmbox, but both rhythmbox and nautilus only recognized flac files as application/octet-stream and refused to play them. audio/x-flac and application/x-flac appear to be present and correct in the gnome-vfs mime data, but do not exist in the shared mime info database.

This can be 'fixed' by adding flac to the shared mime info database (using a tool such as mime-editor and update-mime-database). Why does gnome seem to ignore the gnome-vfs info?
This task depends upon

updated shared-mime-info should fix it
