We're having two parts here - conventions and extra methods:

= Conventions =

I'd suggest to use the same approach like the preset interface in core uses
regarding the locations also with regard how local copies shadow system wide
ones.

I further suggest that we would distribute a set of profiles as the gstreamer
community (separate package). Distributors can customize that for their needs.

The naming suggestions for "<category>-<name>.profile" sounds good. Having
separate sub directories for each category might also work nicely.

= API =

If we enforce the file naming, we could quickly produce a list of profiles for
a category from the names. Otherwise having a profile cache would be good.
