When the entire recording is delivered in a single Blob, it's clear that
the MIME type should be the actual type of the resource. That's
ultra-convenient since anything that uses Blobs and relies on their type
will just work.

I think it's also clear that for multi-Blob resources, the MIME type of the
first Blob should be the actual type of the resource. After all, the MIME
type chosen by the recorder has to be reported somewhere. Also, it's often
the case that a truncated resource of some container types can be played.

For second and subsequent Blobs, it's not clear. We might want to use
application/octet-stream to indicate that those Blobs are not valid
resources of any type. But I think it doesn't matter much and if we want to
give every Blob the MIME type of the resource (which others argued for
IIRC), I think that'd be OK.
