I have those locally:

#define GST_TIME_FORMAT "%u:%02u:%02u:%09u"
#define GST_TIME_ARGS(t) \
  (guint) (t / (GST_SECOND * 60 * 60)), \
  (guint) ((t / (GST_SECOND * 60)) % 60), \
  (guint) ((t / GST_SECOND) % 60), \
  (guint) (t % GST_SECOND)

Uncommitted, but I use them a lot for debugging stuff internally...
