As edward wrote most 'issues' only appear in the log as
GST_{ERROR,WARNING,DEBUG,INFO,LOG} calls. Instead the plugins could use
GST_ELEMENT_{ERROR,WARNING,INFO} more and e.g. post a GstStreamError (e.g.
GST_STREAM_ERROR_FORMAT, GST_STREAM_ERROR_DEMUX or GST_STREAM_ERROR_DECODE). It
would be easy to add more codes.

You wound need to start looking at clips that are known to be wrong and check if
an error is posted, if not check if there is a log entry to see if the issue is
caught and then make a patch.
