We need to transform the codec/etc. supported by each plugin into
something usable by RPM provides.

This is the marshaller:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/gstreamer/devel/gstreamer-inspect-rpm-format.patch?view=markup

Which drops uninteresting data.

PackageKit itself contains a similar marshaller to transform whatever
GStreamer gives us into an RPM provides.
