The profile registry is still work in progress alas. In my git branch I've
already got saving/loading of profiles to/from files, the next step I need to
complete is having some form of registry (but much more lightweight than
gstregistry).

The overall concept is:
* Profile file contains one GstEncodingTarget
 * GstEncodingTarget has a name ("my pony device 2000"), a well-known category
("Devices")
 * An encoding target can then have multiple GstEncodingProfiles.

Those are the missing part for the first 2 items. The last 2 items are already
functional.

Another interesting point I'm not sure how to solve is how to ease the
media-player-info-device-id to target mapping. Have media-player-info provide
those and know about the mapping ? Allow generic metadata fields to be added to
GstEncodingTarget ?
