Well, at the time I started the RB equalizer plugin, I wasn't aware of this
preset effort. I found GKeyfile compelling because there's native support for
them in glib so I didn't have to cook up my own format and also because they
handle localized properties (so you can ship a preset file with localized
names).
For lack of time and knowledge of gstreamer, I really just followed this preset
stuff from a distance, and I would be quite happy to use this infrastructure.
I'm sorry I couldn't provide some more concrete help. 

(I should also mention that for quite a long time the main problem was to make
any of the equalizer elements to work with the RB pipeline. Things seems to be
a little better now with the "equalizer" element landing in -good, but the
ladspa ones are still quite a mess (they're not in -bad for no reason).)
