Consider a "registry/config" like this:

omx_nokiaaacdec = { .lib = "/usr/lib/libomxil-bellagio-nokia.so.1",
.component = "OMX.Nokia.audio_decoder.aac" }
omx_tiaacdec = { .lib = "/usr/lib/libOMX_Core.so", .component =
"OMX.TI.AUDIO.DECODE", .role = "audio_decode.dsp.aac" }
omx_mp3dec = { .lib = "/usr/lib/libOMX_Core.so", .component =
"OMX.TI.AUDIO.DECODE", .role = "audio_decode.dsp.mp3" }
omx_fooh264dec = { .lib = "/home/user/libfoovendor.so", .component =
"OMX.foo.video_decoder.h264", .priority = 257 }

I see no way this can be introspected, specially the libraries to
load. Once you have the library, component-name, and component-role,
then you can introspect the specific formats/profiles/levels
supported, etc.
