To clarify what I meant about gst_poll_add_fd:
On Windows you need to know what kind of fd you're dealing with in order to
know if you should use the winsock API or another API for monitoring the fd.
However, given that an implementation cannot know which kind of fd it is
without checking validity of the handle in each domain/namespace, it won't be
able to do so reliably because the handles in each may overlap. You can have a
socket handle that's 0x100 and a file handle that's 0x100, and both will be
valid. How will the GstPoll implementation then know if it should monitor the
socket 0x100 or the file 0x100?
