Currently, the only way I can play VCDs is to go to Videos then manually choose the .dat file. If I insert a VCD then hit the Play DVD link, either one of two things happen, a popup asks me to insert a disk or the interface freezes, requiring some keyboard work to taskkill MediaPortal. Is there a way to make a shortcut to play a VCD as a disk, similar to a DVD? DVDs work perfectly with the Play DVD link.

After installing MP 1.1.0 Beta 1, the VCD plays through the shortcut like it should. However, DualMonoAudio still doesn't work :(
Still get both channels playing at the same time. No amount of tweaking the ffdshow (setting mp1, mp2 audio to libavcodec) settings can get that to work.
