 * Functions to create and handle encoding profiles.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * Encoding profiles describe the media types and settings one wishes to use for
 * an encoding process. The top-level profiles are commonly
 * #GstEncodingContainerProfile(s) (which contains user-readable name and 
 * description along with which container format to use) which references one or
 * more #GstEncodingProfile(s) which indicate which encoding format should be
 * used on each individual streams.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * #GstEncodingProfile(s) can be provided to the 'encodebin' element, which will take
 * care of selecting and setting up the required elements to produce an output stream
 * conforming to the specifications of the profile.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * Unlike other systems, the encoding profiles do not specify which #GstElement to use
 * for the various encoding and muxing steps, but instead relies on specifying the format
 * one wishes to use.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * Encoding profiles can be created at runtime by the application or loaded from (and saved
 * to) file using the #GstEncodingTarget API.
 * </para>
