Allow h264 profile selection in ffmpeg when using omx

Description
I've been testing omx hardware accelerated encoding on the Pi and it seems that the encoding profile is hard coded to H264 High 4.0. Would it be possible to have a selectable main profile added?
Thank you.

From my own investigation it has become clear that the OMX encoder in it's current form will only ever output H264 High 4.0 unless the encoder is explicitly told to use an alternative profile using OMX_VIDEO_PARAM_AVCTYPE.
The encoder will also only support constant bitrate using a baseline profile, but not main or high. CBR can be achieved with the OMX_VIDEO_PARAM_BITRATETYPE. If this is not applied the encoder is essentially hard coded to run OMX_Video_ControlRateVariable, i.e. variable bit rate output.
