I can't answer your specific question about the columns in the database, but I have worked around this area. I have a ringtone picker that returns URI's of type content://myprovider/ringtone/id that send apps playing a notification to my ContentProver for the sound data. This works perfectly for everything *except* the system ringtone and notification sound (i.e. I can use my picker and ContentProvider to provide the alarm sound, email sound, messaging sound, talk sound, sms sound, etc.) but when I try to use the exact same method to set the ringtone it fails (well it sets, just the ringtone player can't play that URI). It appears that the ringtone player doesn't support all URI's, but I haven't yet found documentation that supports this theory and I've been meaning to read the code. It's sad because I have to do a nasty hack to get sounds in my app to be used as ringtones by copying them to the sdcard first, which granted works but is really messy and prone to errors if users delete/format/eject/etc the sdcard. My guess is that it's on purpose to ensure that when the phone rings *some* sound comes out, just in case the ContentProvider fails in some way.
