[Bug 13986] Re: MP3/AAC not offered as encoding formats in Preferences, even with encoders+gstreamer plugins for these installed

[Sebastian Dröge]

The profiles schemas are added by gnome-media (iirc).
You have a) one gconf directory per profile and b) additionally a list that contains all profile names.

In the schema you have all gconf directories and the list which
statically has all default profiles. It isn't possible via another
schema to add additional values to that list, it's only possible to do
this when setting it by hand as a user so we can't ship anything for the
profiles in another package.

We could ship more profiles with gnome-media (again iirc) but for them
to be functional we must depend on all needed elements which can't be as
most of them are not in main (i.e. lame / faac). So I see no way to do
this cleanly.

IMHO it's a design bug in the media profiles and I'll try to get this
fixed for Gnome 2.16 with upstream
