hmm, that's interesting, why gst_bus_poll use the default context them?

i never used GMainLoop with different contexts, not pretty sure of how it
works. If the main loop on the default context is running (the application
is using it), and i create my main loop with a different context inside the
plugin, to which main loop will go the async result of the GIO call ? (I'm
going to read more about multiple main loops with different contexts)

if GIO would work with this approach it seems to be an interesting solution
to start using the GIO async API instead of the sync API, and it would be
possible to mount the file for the user, making the use of giosrc/sink
pretty easier.
