           Summary: [API] add GST_LOG_CAPS etc.
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

On Windows, OSX and other systems (embedded builds etc.) neither
register_printf_specifier() nor register_printf_function() are available.

This makes GStreamer debug logs much less useful, since you don't get the caps
serialised in the debug log. This applies to other GST_PTR_FORMAT arguments as
well, but I think 95% of those are caps.

Therefore I propose to add some new API that works like

 GST_LOG_CAPS ("get_caps returned: ", caps);
 GST_LOG_OBJECT_CAPS (pad, "get_caps returned: ", caps);

etc.

so people on other platforms are not left out in the cold.
