i have been testing with it for a while now and:
- the bug is there indeed where the movie starts playing in the background (and no i don't want to killall dmaosd

) (metatags aren't set properly probably)
(it is indeed strange that after boot if you play 1 movie via RC, all upnp movies which are started afterwards play in foreground, OSD disappears)
this background playing bug makes it a bit useless against upnp-cmd
DMA render port has to be found out first with something like this: netstat -lp | grep DMARender | grep LISTEN
Again upnp-cmd also does this.
What i can' do with upnp-cmd and what other commercial upnp render players (on iphone like twonky, plugplayer, zappoTV, ...) can do is when playing .MP3's the display (on TV) changes and shows the cover album art, artist, number, ....
UPNP-cmd just plays the audio, it shows a message on a black tv screen (something about "no audio channel")
As for speed i don't notice much difference between avremote and upnp-cmd for now...
Would be happy though to see more of this AVRemote.
