There is no workaround. See this section for some suggested alternative UPnP control points. My preferred Windows control point is Linn Kinsky.

WMP 12 will crawl a media server recursively only if it does not handle this search request:

upnp:class derivedfrom "object.item.audioItem" and @refID exists false

So the workaround it to hardcode support for this search request and return a flat list of tracks.

JRMC does the same thing although IIRC it will not crawl recursively and emits this search request instead:

(upnp:class derivedfrom "object.item.audioItem.musicTrack")
