Comment (by layotte):

 Replying to [comment:27 helen]:
 > Changing to enhancement, as `wp_check_filetype()` was never meant for
 URLs and the solution in this case is to introduce something else that
 does work for URLs.

 The wp_check_filetype() function is called several times in wp-
 includes/media.php. Including the Audio shortcode (which is where I ran
 into this bug). I believe this should be considered a bug. Especially if
 the function was never meant to be used for URLs.
