* debian/*.prs, debian/patches/10_encoding_use_ubuntu_profiles.patch: Add an
OGG and MP3 preset with improved defaults to use when encoding. Patch
rhythmbox.gep to work with user-supplied custom settings (LP: #945987)

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.
