I think is is better done outside of Galène, in the shell or the
service manager.

Would there be a need to dissociate Galène's own logs from Pion's,
which could not be achieved by a header in the log format?

Would you retain the logs for the whole execution of the program, tee
the logs in real-time, re-read the file where the logs would have been
written, get them from the service manager, or something else?

Is there a noticeable performance impact on logging everything and
letting the service manager handle the logging level? there's at least
one big service manager on Linux that supports that if the logs are in
syslog format. A distribution-provided service file could always
enable all the logs from Galène and Pion and let the system
administrator discard unwanted levels of logs.

IMO Galène is fine as-is (it could log more), as all the parameters
can be tuned outside of Galène.
