And of course, maybe it is obvious in this case as WSL2 is meant to run 
on Windows but, the ultimate workaround would be using the native 
Windows build.

If you are a user, maybe you are not aware (as I have seen on the 
internet some people are not), but there are nightly builds here 
(https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc/nightly-win64-ucrt-llvm) that you 
can get the optimum results on Windows. If you are a developer, for 
Linux specific things I think it makes more sense to not use a virtual 
machine (especially for developing a video player), and for Windows 
specific things I think nowadays it is not so hard to use MinGW-w64 to 
cross build for Windows.
