Hello all,  
I am using the ruby bindings for Gstreamer and trying to debug some  
issues I am facing. I have a pipeline that works from the command line  
using gst-launch and am fixing issues to make it work with the binding.

While I can use GST\_DEBUG=2 or 3 to see different  
messages, is there any way to duplicate the effect of the -vvv switch I  
can give to gst-launch on the command line while running gstreamer using  
ruby bindings?  
The gst-launch -vvv prints out are quite useful for while GST\_DEBUG=\*  
tends to flood the whole screen space.
