OK, working on it. small question....
If I create settings like:
 "VideoExtensions", "128,wmv,mpg,avi,vob,mpeg,nuv", NULL
 "MusicExtensions", "64,mp3,ogg,flac", NULL

Can I than retrieve these settings through a query of the form
 SELECT data FROM settings WHERE value LIKE %Extensions

or is this 'not done'.

I ask because GetSetting does not support it... I can of course use
someting like:
  MusicExtensions = GetSetting("MusicExtensions");
  VideoExtensions = GetSetting("VideoExtensions");

But this means that a new type of setting also needs an update of the
mythcdrom code and not only a database update. A pro would be that the
value of a '#define MEDIATYPE_MMUSIC 64' does not enter the database, while
it does in the first method.
