 What changed from 0.4.6 to 0.4.8 was that I made sure that everything
works nicely against PS3, especially streaming.

Streaming mp3 to gupnp-av-cp on the same machine - I needed to load gnome-icon-themes and symlink hicolor -> gnome to get gupnp-av-cp to even start, but after that and after loading gst-plugins-base/good/bad/ugly, gupnp-av-cp would list the mp3 files, but not play them and rygel gave the error below when attempting to play from gupnp-av-cp:

 That is just a warning and could safely be ignored. Please run rygel
with log-level 5 and paste the full log somewhere. Keeping everything
you have told me here, I suspect you are still missing some needed
gstreamer plugins.

  Possible. Ask the coherence guys about that.
