As I said, I don't have any strong reason to prefer one or another
approach.

Me neither.

It is true that having the ID defined in the configure.ac makes more
sense if one thinks that the ID can be changed when building the source,
the same way as other elements for Grilo core are defined in
configure.ac (default plugins dir, Grilo api version, ...).

Other than that, I don't see any other advantage of defining them in
configure.ac
