Comment (by dd32):

 > If we're going to explicitly allow support for URLs (which we need to do
 by extension of the fact that this function is used in the
 wp_[audio|video|playlist]_shortcode() functions), this is gonna need unit
 test coverage and security review.

 I'd personally prefer to add an explicit `wp_check_url_filetype()`
 function instead, one which extracts the actual filename from the URL and
 passes it along to `wp_check_filetype()` (if appropriate, or duplicates
 parts of it)
