So finally i ve discussed about it with Wim and we really need to have spacing
character like newline, form feed etc.. being lexical separators.
If you need to assign a string to an element property you have to use quotes.
The reason why it did not work for you is that gst-launch and bash are basically
removing the quotes around blah\nblah and then flex consider \n as a string
terminator. Flex will handle "blah\nblah" or 'blah\nblah' correctly though.
I m closing this bug.
