There are some preliminary patches available in bugzilla to make that
information (or something similar) available at the stage of content
streaming (which technically has nothing to do with UPnP anymore)

No. Currently Rygel has to load each module to check its meta-data which
is bad (bug 693658 in gnome bugzilla).

With GLib >= 2.32 you need to export G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all to see debug
messages.

As for the --gst-* flags, due to some internal changes they cannot be
forwarded to GStreamer anymore. You have to use the corresponding
environment variables (GST_DEBUG=3 and GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1)

It should not be ignored.

Ok, there might be some issue with correctly overriding options from
commandline.

This option does not work.
