  I'm basing most of my work on the preset system already :)

  Agreed. Although it would also make sense to have some distributed in
existing gst-plugins-* packages.

  Actually <category>/<name>.profile is more flexible. It reduces the
limitations of the naming scheme considerably and will make it faster to
retrieve all targets for a given category.

  See comment above about directories :) A cache will be nice in the future,
but as long as a proper API is designed, we can change what happens under the
hood later on.
