Banshee 2.9.0 is out as of 2013-10-08 http://banshee.fm/download/archives/2-9-0/
As long as I can see (from deps on official site also) it depends on >=GTK#-2.99.1, which means all GTK3-sharp bindings. Correct me, if I'm wrong - hadn't viewed sources of banshee. Currently, successfully build it against gtk-sharp-2.99.2 (2.99.1 results in malloc error on launch, google stated it's fixed in 2.99.2 - and this seams true). Banshee 2.9.1 builds and launches, but gives warning: [Info 15:48:35.578] Running Banshee 2.9.1: [Gentoo/banshee/2.9.1 (linux-gnu, x86_64) @ 2014-04-22 19:53:43 EEST] [Warn 15:48:35.972] No player engines were found. Please ensure Banshee has been cleanly installed. - Using the featureless NullPlayerEngine.

Perhaps, it's because of some removed dependencies ( gconf-sharp, gst-plugins-gio, gst-plugins-gconf). GST plugins removed simply becouse I can't find them (trying to build against gstreamer-1.0, which support mentioned on official site, don't know, are they still needed), but gconf-sharp results in dependency conflicts and downgrade. Seams that all GTK3# stack (or most of it) needed. Currently, trying to achieve this in local overlay, but also have a question - why gtk-sharp-2.99.* still ignored? Yep, i agree, that seems that it isn't needed for some great enhancements, but I mean - is there's some big problems or reasons to leave it aside for some time? Sorry for my English.
Title needs to be updated to 2.9.1 version bump. Depends on bug #509398 , bug #509404 . Attached ebuild successfully builds against GTK+:3 sharp bindings and player works (except for own bugs of banshee-2.9.1).
