The problem is in fileno(). As you said the Mingw CRT and the MSVC CRT have
different FILE structures that may be incompatibles. I fixed the bug in the
following way:

 -filedesc = fileno(filesink->file);
 +filedesc = filesink->file->_file;

 -ret = lseek (fileno(filesink->file), 0, SEEK_CUR);
 +ret = lseek (filesink->file->_file, 0, SEEK_CUR);

Can these changes be applied to UNIX systems? If not we could add something
like this:

#ifdef _MSC_VER
 filedesc = filesink->file->_file;
#else
 filedesc = fileno(filesink->file);
#endif


What I still do not understand is why this incompatibility exists if both GLib
and GStreamer are linked against msvcrt.dll ...
