m_audioTracks looks empty? This is with a RelWithDebInfo build:

lgtm, but if someone set USE_PLAYBIN3, it will still break... should we unset it on `gst_init`?

What would break? I've added a test to ensure we process stream collections only when the new var is set.

I found more issues, unfortunately :( Will update the patch, sorry.

From the GStreamer PoV, this is ok. I'll let Michael have the final word about the env variables.

I think there are issues here with too many () .

This will need a rethink. See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194370#c6 for why you can't do this.

I'd use g_getenv and we're good to go.
