I did try the autostart route. It complained about missing daemons. I this is because also in rc.local I have the daemons starting as /etc/init.d/rivendell start. From looking at system log it seems that the programs in autostart happens before rc.local runs so rdairplay in autostart doesn't seem the daemons. I guess the question then is how to maybe start the daemons before autostart runs. I look around but didn't see any way autostarting via gui. Thanks for your help!
