Is there any reason that backuppc doesn't allow for files of certain
type or ending to have compression skipped?

It seems like it would be beneficial to define lists based either on
file endings and/or file types that would allow you to skip
compression for certain already compressed media types. It's not clear
to me what the benefit is of compressing large music, picture or video
files that are already pretty efficiently compressed. Adding a
compression can only slow down the transfer.

Since there is already a pool and a cpool couldn't this be easily
added?
