Good question.

I have the plustek backend running but I had to replace the child 
process with a pthread. This is currently no-good.

The epson backend doesn't fork (according grep) thus it should work in theory.

If there's a pipe-stall on bulk write the libusb returns an error. 
Both, libusb and sane, don't try to clear the pipe stall (plustek 
backend). It's quite easy to find out by placing additional debugging 
logs in the libusb code.
