We have been working on finding a good solution for this for quite a 
while now. If you use the `windows-binaries`_ git repository, the 
libraries there were built by Gabriel using his `openSUSE Build Service 
project`_. This build has a couple of issues though, most notably the 
GStreamer DirectShow wrappers are not included, so MP3 playback does not 
work.

I personally have been using the `OSSBuild`_ project to build GStreamer. 
It is really easy to get it to build, at least in VisualStudio 2008 (It 
did not work for me in VS 2010). Just copy all the libgst* libraries to 
``banshee/bin/bin`` and the plugins to 
``banshee/bin/lib/gstreamer-0.10``. There are also some shared libraries 
that you'll need to copy from 
``ossbuild/Shared/Build/Windows/Win32/bin`` to ``banshee/bin/bin``.

Good Luck!
