Bug Description
I hope this makes sense but I'm just figuring out all this dbus/pulseaudio stuff now. This isn't really a bug, more of a feature request. I have a TV (connected to my stereo via an external DAC)) that has DLNA support and I really wanted to be able to play pandora on it. I've got Rygel, the gnome DLNA client working in a Debian virtual machine and I can stream to my TV. I can listen to pithos using the GstLaunch part of Rygel to somehow output the pulseaudio sound playing on the virtual machine. However, this is very laggy and you can't control pithos with the DLNA device (ie. next song/song info, etc.), you need to go on the computer, not terrible but not ideal.
Rygel supports the MPRIS DBUS interface

this can interface with Banshee and Rythmbox to expose their playlists via DLNA to any DLNA equipped device (and it works!) I figured it would be really cool if Pithos could work the same way with Rygel and DLNA. Rygel seems to recognize the pithos dbus interface:
Rygel-Message: New plugin 'org.mpris.
however, when I add this to my rygel.conf:
[org.mpris.
title=Pithos
it doesn't work. I'm not sure if there is a way to support the MPRIS/MediaServ
For reference, I'm using Pithos 0.3.12 and Rygel 0.12.5 on Debian Wheezy/Testing (pulled Rygel from Debian Experimental).
Thanks very much for all your great work.
