I don't really know how to use that.

The renderer tries to do a HEAD request on the stream to check various
things and fails because the peer does not seem to support that. 

Probably we should try to continue streaming if HEAD is not supported on
a stream.

Oh, the project is up again? Great. Spaces in mime-type definitely won't
work since Rygel does a rather dumb string compare there.

Not sure why it doesn't work; Some versions of GStreamer 1.x seem to
have issues with raw PCM streams.
