Use the C API instead of environment variables. When using the
environment variables, you need to set them before gst_init().

See gstreamer_android-1.0.c.in, it currently calls
gst_debug_set_default_threshold(). Change that to make the default
GST_LEVEL_DEBUG.

All GStreamer debug output will go to the Android log btw, not stderr.


Alternatively what would also be useful is getting a backtrace of the
threads that are busy while things are hanging. Use ndk-gdb for that.
