  That option will dump all the messages received on the pipeline bus
(which is what you'd see in an application), whereas the -t option that
tim mentionned will parse those GST_MESSSAGE_TAG and output them in a
user-friendly fashion (look at the code in gstreamer/tools/gst-inspect.c
to see how they're handled).
