how do you enable output of GST_DEBUG_OBJECT ?

[Brendan Long]

Use the GST_DEBUG environment variable
<http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/gst-running.html>.
I'm not sure how to figure out the "category", but guessing usually
works pretty well. For your case I would guess the category is
"basesink", so something like this might work:

# 5 == "debug"
GST_DEBUG=basesink:5 gst-launch-1.0 [etc.]
