GST\_DEBUG is a debugging technique where a number is specified to set the appropriate
        level for logging.

The GStreamer debug output is controlled by the `GST_DEBUG` environment
            variable.

For example, to log all warnings, run the following
            command:

    export GST_DEBUG=2Copy to clipboard
