rethink log format. current format:
* is not easy to parse/process by commandline tools
* cannnot be easily diffed (timestamps, pid)
gst_debug_log_default() is default gst-log handler.
try new via:
gst_debug_remove_log_function(gst_debug_log_default)
gst_debug_add_log_function(func,data)
== reorder fields ==
format of default handler is:

something like:
cut -c35- | sed -e "s/0x[0-9a-f]\{7,8\}//g"
should make logs easily 'diffable'.
== color code level ==
I suggedt to color-code loglevels if COLOR is allowed:
ERROR : red
WARNING : yellow
INFO : green
DEBUG : turkis
LOG : gray
NONE : gray
== log sources ==
What about differentating between log sources:
core
elements
application
