I am using ETSI EN 300 468 V1.15.1 (2016-03) as my reference for the packets.

The standard says Appendix A.0 that if the first character of the string is
not an encoding byte then there is a default encoding, Latin. Thus my data
conforms to the standard as far as I know.

OK. Later today though, I have to take my car in for a recall update.

It would seen that the Debina packages of gstreamer 1.16.0 do not come with
debugging symbols, at least that would be my guess as to why (*). I am solely
on Linux and have no access to Windows or MSVC. 

I have a request in to the JetBrains CLion folk on this issue – CLion should
be able to deal with C calls from Rust, but only as long as the debic symbols
are available.

(*) I be I have just failed to install the debug symbol packages. Have you
moved gstreamer 1.16.0 from experimental to sid now that the Debian freeze is
over?
