I've implemented a UPnP media server before (just for images because I
didn't want to think about RTSP at the time), and it's not especially
heavyweight, aside from using XML. While UPnP might be inappropriate for
other reasons, I'd rather examine it before AURA, since UPnP has lots of
software out there already using it. However, see my messages in the
other thread ("Moving ahead to the new architecture") for more issues
with doing something like this.
