The growisofs man suggests using -speed=1 with "no name" media.  Maybe 
this recommendation is getting out of date, and maybe people shouldn't 
use such media anyway, but can parameters like this be passed through 
the entries in the MythArchive External Commands (2) page within the 
Archive Files Settings menu?  Or is what is passed restricted to a 
single word?
