I forgot to add earlier:

I'm not so sure about the boolean solution suggested by Dave, because it seems
less flexible/extensible as other solutions, and it doesn't look obvious to me
that we might not want to add other (obscure?) profiles at some point.

I still think base-something (layer? profile?) is a good name for this field,
since I expect most decoders to just specify that by default. It'd be weird to
see a decoder announce caps like:

  audio/mpeg, mpegversion=4, fallback-profile={foo, bar}

without a profile field (which could be added, but is probably not really
needed). I'm assuming that the usual case is that we want to play everything we
can by default, even if it's degraded. Complex setups with multiple different
decoders should be possible, but these are special cases where the vendor is in
control of the setup.
