[mythtv] MediaMonitor & DVD-drive speed limiting

Hi Otto. Sorry for the delay in looking in to this.
Yes, you are right. If the "Monitor CD/DVD..." setting
is disabled, then speed-setting and ejecting will not work.

I can't remember back that far, but a patch to change it would involve:


Adding
virtual void MythMediaDevice::setSpeed(const char* DevicePath, int  
speed);
to mythmedia.h,

and changing
void MythCDROMLinux::setSpeed(int speed);

into
static void MythCDROMLinux::setSpeed(const char* DevicePath, int speed)
void        MythCDROMLinux::setSpeed(int speed)



That could let MediaMonitor::SetCDSpeed() attempt
speed limiting if the media monitor is disabled.

It would be, but for now, I might just
update the setup "help" messages?
