I think as long as you put a space after the ! you're good. Don't remember if
that's also the case for ancient bash versions though, haven't heard of
problems with that anywhere though.

Ok, great. I'll close the bug then, feel free to re-open if you run into the
problem again.

You mean you think gst-launch should work even if you pass the entire pipeline
as one single argument? Not an unreasonable request, but I don't think it's
worth it and will just make things more confusing because of escaping.
gst-launch is just a debugging tool, best to use gst_parse_launch() from C or
your favourite scripting language. So probably a WONTFIX.
