According to the docs, we will also need to be careful to pass file descriptors
through GIOChannels to get things to work properly for all file descriptor
types on win32.

A couple of notes:
 * The new background plugin scanner uses GstPoll on stdin/stdout to pass
messages back and forth. I didn't realise it was going to lead to these sorts
of problems. Unfortunately, I also don't have any suggestions for ways to avoid
it.
 * checking the file descriptor numbers isn't going to be effective - the first
thing the background plugin scanner does is dup stdin/stdout onto different
file descriptor numbers, but they are still attached to the same pipes.
