Description Martin Eikermann 2005-11-22 21:27:52 UTC 
gst-launch doesn't show all available command
line arguments, though the arguments themself
still work.

Looks like this:

>gst-launch --help
Usage:
  gst-launch [OPTION...] gst-run

Help Options:
  -?, --help           Show help options

Application Options:
  -p, --print          print wrapped command line options
  --gst-mm=VERSION     Force major/minor version
  --gst-list-mm        List found major/minor versions
Comment 1 Edward Hervey 2005-11-22 22:58:41 UTC 
the unversioned versions of the gst tools (gst-launch, gst-inspect, ...) are run
through a wrapper function (tools/gst-run.c) and it isn't possible to get the
arguments from the real called programm.

If you wish to have the available arguments, use the real program (ex:
gst-launch-0.9) which has all available arguments.
