I'm changing my mind slightly on jpegs. Not that their a horrible format that should die in a fire, but that we could hook which ever exports are currently compiled into gdk/gtk by taking the extension and feeding that information to gdk after the png is ready. (we shouldn't have to actually hook up libjpeg and libtiff etc because we'd then be stuck with the bill)
I suppose you are talking about GdkPixbuf? In that case I'm afraid this decision may return to bite you in the nether regions :)
To the best of my knowledge, GdkPixbuf:
- is not color management aware - only support 8-bit data per color channel max - only handles RGB(A) and greyscale images
If you want a random 16-bit CMYK TIFF files linked and displayed properly in Inkscape, you might want a more future-proof solution.
