The place to look when deciding what to do with the Categories field in a
.desktop file is: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html

Notice that there are main categories and sub categories. An application must
always have atleast one main category, and may have as many subcategories as one
one wants.

In the case of audio applications, there also is this note in the table:
Audio	An audio application	Desktop entry must include AudioVideo as well

So the minimal Categories field for an audio app is:
Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;

Notice no Application!, Application is not a valid Category.

If you want to further give hints for the menus what kind of application this is
, the following sub categories are candidates:
Midi	   An app related to MIDI
Mixer	   Just a mixer
Sequencer  A sequencer
Tuner      A tuner
TV         A TV application
AudioVideoEditing	Application to edit audio/video files
Player     Application to play audio/video files
Recorder   Application to record audio/video files

If that is not fine grained enough using X-foo Categories is a good solution.
As for adding some kinda finer grained menu for Audio stuff, take a look at the
games-menus package, that already does that for the Games menu.
