 This has an huge drawback, we have to export what is currently an internal "API",
and so forbid removing/changing any configuration variables without breaking the
API.
 Using dedicated function can at least allow to control what is used outside
vlc itself and so maintain (if wanted) API compatibility.

 I don't really know what solution would allow simplicity and maintainability at
the same time.
