Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject fixes the problem. Also all event
handlers must be removed.

I can confirm this behavior. Even calling Marshal.ReleaseComObject() on the
WMP instance has no effect. Also, calling this.Close() instead of
Application.Exit() will close the form, but the application still does not
terminate.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1 - create a new Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone device application
2 - Add a reference to wmp.dll
3 - add this code anywhere:

WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer p = new
WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer();
p.URL = "\\Application Data\\Sounds\\Classic.wma";
p.controls.play();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
Application.Exit();

Could someone please confirm this so I know it isn't a problem on my
side?
