I would like to get some info on what commandline-parmeters are needed to build a pipeline alike to the one currently playing. i.e. I'd start the playbin with -v and get exactly the commands needed to avoid playbin. but not just playbin, a lot plugins are silently inserting defaults. especially if some hw-acceleration is used, -v should mention how they can be configured by actually listing the plugin-name in such a commandline, preferably with the default options if possible. when I use the -v option I expect to get informed what exactly will be happening, and in case of error what fallback will be used. as it is now, I'd need to enable debug-messages for that, and then I get spammed down by a lot of less useful info. also, the man-page doesn't say much about making use of debug options, especially no useful examples are given for troubleshooting. but for this I'll make another bugreport.
