The default logging handler used by GStreamer. Logging functions get called whenever a macro like GST_DEBUG or similar is used. By default this function is setup to output the message and additional info to stderr (or the log file specified via the GST_DEBUG_FILE environment variable) as received via user_data.
You can add other handlers by using gst.global.debugAddLogFunction. And you can remove this handler by calling gst_debug_remove_log_function(gst_debug_log_default);
