The standard behaviour is this:
faber $ (sleep 10 & jobs | cat)
[1]+ Running sleep 10 &
faber $ (sleep 10 & jobs | grep '.')
[1]+ Running sleep 10 &
Commands inside () are forced into a subshell;
sleep 10 is then started in the background;
jobs is a shell builtin, but it's output must still be pipable;
AND IT IS!
Does the sequence "(sleep 10 & jobs | cat)" produce output at you?
[It should.]
