Description Ian Davidson 2013-01-18 14:57:55 UTC 
In the man pages for gst-launch (and also gst-launch-1.0), the description for --gst-debug= and --gst-debug-level= say that the level can be in the range 0 to 5.

I have been advised to set the debug level to higher numbers than 5, and I have observed that there is a difference in output between 6 and 9.

1) Clearly, the statement that only 0 to 5 are available is wrong.
2) It would be useful to specify what I might expect for each different level.

    tools: update gst-launch-1.0 man page for new debug levels
    
    There are more debug levels these days, not only 0-5.
