[Mono-dev] C# project export to Linux fails - lots of errors

[Alan]

Whoops, include the list....

The root of your problem is that windows media player does not exist
on linux (for obvious reasons ;) ). If you want an application which
can play media files on different platforms, you'll either have to
write a platform specific media playing backend or use a cross
platform backend and ensure it's available on all systems your app is
run on.

For example on windows you could use WMP. On Linux you could use
gstreamer. On MacOS you could probably use CoreAudio or CoreVideo, or
maybe something else. I'm not sure what'd be appropriate.
