You can improve the logging by using export GST_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all and 
run rygel with -g 5 cmmandline parameter. This will switch on debugging 
output.

This sounds a bit as if the Technisat is one of the devices that only 
pays attention to the first resource it can find.
If you can provide me the User-Agent, I can try to add it to the hacks 
that are needed for those devices. User-Agent should be printed when 
using the debug output.

gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=/path/to/file.ogg ! decodebin2 ! 
fakesink

You can just download the MP3 uri. To do this, use gupnp-av-cp from 
gupnp-tools, navigate to an audio file, right-click, use Show DIDL-Lite 
and find the URL ending with /tr/MP3.mp3. You should be able to feed 
this to mplayer e.g.
