I would prefer one descriptive name per profile with codec name and
specs in brackets. Even novices cannot ignore the codec because of
compatibility with their playback devices. Mentioning codec names twice
is against the DRY principle (don't repeat yourself). It opens the
possibility of inconsistency for all those >280 languages!

Furthermore these profiles set cornerstones for zillions of megabytes,
so they should be chosen carefully. After what I've read and compared
myself, CD Quality needs at least 160kbit/s MP3, whereas with OGG
128kbit/s would be enough, IMHO.

So my preference would be something like:
 Lossless (WAV uncompressed)
 Lossless (FLAC compressed)
 High-end (MP3 VBR Q=6)
 High-end (QGG VBR Q=0.5)
 CD Quality (MP3 160kbit/s)
 CD Quality (OGG 128kbit/s)
 Normal (MP3 128kbit/s)
 Voice only (SPEEX VBR)

Nice to see changes ahead here. This will make apps like sound-juicer
more usable out-of-the-box.
