I like Tim's idea. In more detail, it would be either creating a variable

  GST_DEBUG_COLOR_IF_TTY or GST_DEBUG_COLOR_ONLY_IF_TTY

or abusing GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR by allowing the value

  notty

to mean "no color if not tty" (the double negative is unfortunate).

On the other hand, I think I no longer care all that much, because thanks to
Tim I now know of the existence of the -R option. And the other time when it's
annoying is when I'm running within emacs, and there the tty check won't help
anyway. (Yes, I'm sure emacs has a terminal mode that would handle the colors
too. But I'd rather not go to that much trouble.)
