I would suggest a:

  gst-inspect-1.0 textrender

Raw timed text is now text/x-raw,format=utf8 in 1.0

However, it is assumed to be properly chunked (one line/paragraph per
buffer) and timestamped. Just pipeline a text file into textrenderer
will not work well, since it won't know how to chunk it or timestamp it.
