I don't think it's mixed.
XML output is on stdout and "text" output is on stderr.
Try your command again, but redirect the output to a file

ffprobe -show_streams  -show_format -print_format xml
/media/sdb1/LklWb/com/youtube/gmcummings/Are_You_Going_With_Me_Quality_Version_Rare_Video~Ip7kEx789n8.flv 
 >output.xml

the console will contain the "text" part, and the file "output.xml" will 
contain the XML.
