gst-launch-1.0 is a debugging tool, you're not really supposed to use
it like this.

However, the problem is that you send not just the data from the camera
to stdout, but also the output of gst-launch-1.0 itself.

You should be able to pass the -q / --quiet option to suppress that.

There's also fdsink for what it's worth.

Cheers
