It's spammy as hell. It prints every single NAL.
Though I just checked, and it's spammy on debug, not verbose.
Still, NAL printing should be absolutely trace level. It really makes
debug a useless level, and everything else we have is quite responsibly
printing what it should on debug.

How? Does -version modify the log level?
