'gst_bus_add_watch' not getting bus messages

[Federico Zamperini]

Hi,
	you can setup a thread that pops messages from the bus (see 
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstBus.html#gst-bus-pop) 
and logs them.
For example the main loop of your auxiliary thread might be (be aware 
that this is just an example):

GstBus *bus = gst_element_get_bus(your pipeline here);
GstMessage *msg = NULL;

while(TRUE) {

	// get all the messages that are currently queued in the bus
	do {
		msg = gst_bus_pop(bus);
		if(msg == NULL)
			break; // no mesages at the moment, will try again later

		// log msg infos here ...

		gst_message_unref(msg);
	} while(msg != NULL);

	// take a nap (300ms)
	usleep(300 * 1000);

	// loop again to see if new messages are in the bus
}
