I guess so... maybe because I had needed it before...

Qualit at 195@@169@@32 at CD@44@@32 at avec@32 at perte@32 at MP3

Which stands for "Qualité CD, avec perte MP3" (I'm with french locale)

with this pipeline :

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc

I guess it corresponds to : 
$ gconftool-2 -g /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/profiles/Qualit at 195@@169@@32 at CD@44@@32 at avec@32 at perte@32 at MP3/pipeline
audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc

Cool, I make progress ;)

 /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/profiles/voicelossless
 /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/profiles/cdlossless
 /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/profiles/aac
 /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/profiles/cdlossy
 /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/profiles/voicelossy
 /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/profiles/mp3

I guess I'm missing the id3v2mux from the default mp3 profile, then
...

So I should probably remove my one
Qualit at 195@@169@@32 at CD@44@@32 at avec@32 at perte@32 at MP3 setting and try
again ?

Unless it doesn't seem to let me remove it from the preferences inside
rhytmbox :(

Any suggestion for a gconftool cmdline ?

Thanks in advance.
