Aren't virtually all DLNA servers also open source? For me there would
be commercial viability only if a player supported both LMS and DLNA.
We'd all use it with LMS but a chunk of people (majority?) would opt for

Not really a player. It has only digital outputs, so requires a DAC. For

You can get a command-line version of lame for OS X by installing
Macports: https://www.macports.org/
Once Macports is installed, open Terminal and enter
Code:
sudo port install lame

I actually think we already have all the options we need. Raspberry Pi
