Something like
[extension.mp4]
cache=...

[extension.mp3]
nocache=yes


The documentation hopefully has details.
Note that this will be purely extension based, so it will not work
as expected if the files have incorrect extension (the reason is
that detecting what format it really is obviously needs data to be read,
so the decision of cache vs. no cache must already have been made at that
point).
