There are several unbuilt dependencies that would need to be built in EPEL first:

* mono-zeroconf
* libmtp
* gnome-sharp
* gio-sharp
* gtk-sharp-beans
* gkeyfile-sharp
* gudev-sharp
* gtk-sharp2
* taglib-sharp
* notify-sharp
* libgpod-sharp
* gdata-sharp
* dbus-sharp
* dbus-sharp-glib
* mono-addins

(I think that's all of them.)

Needless to say, this isn't likely to happen anytime soon.

I have been able to successfully build banshee for EPEL7.

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=8316921

The following changes were required:

========================
Line 139 was commented out:

# desktop-file-validate %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/banshee*.desktop
========================
Line 54 was changed to:

BuildRequires: gnome-desktop3-devel
========================

Can I go ahead and request a CVS branch for this package?

Running desktop-file-validate is a MUST - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#desktop-file-install_usage

Okay I changed it to:

desktop-file-validate %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/banshee-audiocd.desktop
desktop-file-validate %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/banshee-media-player.desktop
desktop-file-validate %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/banshee.desktop

and it builds successfully:
