Did you find out anything more? I'm wondering the same thing: "profile" doesn't seem to be available?
gst-inspect says:
<i> profile : Apply restrictions to meet H.264 Profile constraints. This will override other properties if necessary. This will only be used if downstream elements do not specify a profile in their caps <b>(DEPRECATED)</b></i>
so I'm wondering whether 14.04 dropped support?
