Hi Doug, or anyone else,
Would you please review the merge request here? I'd like to get this
into precise because it is blocking another gstreamer bug causing cheese
to hog cpu, especially on low power devices. The merge request is here:

Bug description:
= Transmageddon =
[ Description ]
Transmageddon ships gstreamer preset files in a shared directory,
/usr/share/gstreamer-0.10/presets. As these presets have fixed names,
this is unhelpful. An upstream commit included in 0.21 moves these to
a private location.
[ Development fix ]
Fixed in Quantal in an identical way.
[ Regression potential ]
If the fix doesn't work then it's possible that transmageddon won't be
able to find its presets and will not be able to encode anything.
[ Testing ]
There should be no functional difference. Test with both the old and
new transmageddon that you can still transcode some videos using a
variety of settings, and that the settings you choose are the ones
which are pplied.
= Rhythmbox =
[ Description ]
No encoding preset is shipped with Rhythmbox, meaning that subpar
defaults for encoding are selected.
[ Development Fix ]
Quantal's Rhythmbox has support for custom encoding settings. There,
we've shipped the same set of "ubuntu-default" presets, but have set
the default (in rhythmbox.gep) to use the user's selected custom
settings.
[ SRU fix notes ]
We Break and Replace old transmageddons, which have a file conflict
with this version.
** Thus, the Rhythmbox SRU MUST NOT be accepted, both into -proposed
and -updates, without the transmageddon one. Otherwise we will
introduce upgrade failures. **
[ Regression potential ]
Perhaps the new settings will fail to apply and Rhythmbox will pick up
a worse set than it had before.
[ Testing ]
Rip a CD with the new Rhythmbox with the default settings and
determine that the quality and other encoder parameters are what they
should be.
[ Original Description ]
This has been going on since 11.10 dev, maybe should be addressed
In Edit > Preferences, on the Music tab the Settings button for Preferred Format is greyed out & unavailable. So there is no user available means to adjust encoding for vorbis, mp3, mp4, ect.
Even using something like sound-juicer to change the very same 'Preferred.. ' is of no use, Rhythmbox doesn't use.
